As a preparatory step to allocating vcpu->arch.cpuid_entries dynamically make kvm_check_cpuid() check work with an arbitrary 'struct kvm_cpuid_entry2' array. Currently, when kvm_check_cpuid() fails we reset vcpu->arch.cpuid_nent to 0 and this is kind of weird, i.e. one would expect CPUIDs to remain unchanged when KVM_SET_CPUID[2] call fails. No functional change intended. It would've been possible to move the updated kvm_check_cpuid() in kvm_vcpu_ioctl_set_cpuid2() and check the supplied input before we start updating vcpu->arch.cpuid_entries/nent but we can't do the same in kvm_vcpu_ioctl_set_cpuid() as we'll have to copy 'struct kvm_cpuid_entry' entries first. The change will be made when vcpu->arch.cpuid_entries[] array becomes allocated dynamically.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
