Please write this as

	if (kvm_x86_ops.flush_remote_tlbs_range)
		return static_call(kvm_x86_flush_remote_tlbs_range)(kvm, gfn, nr_pages);

	return -EOPNOTSUPP;

or alternatively

	if (!kvm_x86_ops.flush_remote_tlbs_range)
		return -EOPNOTSUPP;

	return static_call(kvm_x86_flush_remote_tlbs_range)(kvm, gfn, nr_pages);

Hmm, I'll throw my official vote for the second version.

The local "ret" is unnecessary and is suprisingly dangerous.  I screwed up the
conflict resolution when cherry-picking my CONFIG_HYPERV change to see what the
conflict looked like and ended up with a double flush:

	int ret = -EOPNOTSUPP;

	if (kvm_x86_ops.flush_remote_tlbs_range)
		ret = static_call(kvm_x86_flush_remote_tlbs_range)(kvm, gfn, nr_pages);

	if (ret)
		kvm_flush_remote_tlbs(kvm);

	return ret;

Dropping "ret" makes it much harder to get trigger happy when resolving conflicts.

No need for a new version to fix the above, assuming Marc/Oliver is ok doing
fixup when applying.

Nit aside, looks good for x86, and I know of no conflicts, so take 'er away!
