Chao Gao aaf12a7b43 KVM: Rename and move CPUHP_AP_KVM_STARTING to ONLINE section
The CPU STARTING section doesn't allow callbacks to fail. Move KVM's
hotplug callback to ONLINE section so that it can abort onlining a CPU in
certain cases to avoid potentially breaking VMs running on existing CPUs.
For example, when KVM fails to enable hardware virtualization on the
hotplugged CPU.

Place KVM's hotplug state before CPUHP_AP_SCHED_WAIT_EMPTY as it ensures
when offlining a CPU, all user tasks and non-pinned kernel tasks have left
the CPU, i.e. there cannot be a vCPU task around. So, it is safe for KVM's
CPU offline callback to disable hardware virtualization at that point.
Likewise, KVM's online callback can enable hardware virtualization before
any vCPU task gets a chance to run on hotplugged CPUs.

Drop kvm_x86_check_processor_compatibility()'s WARN that IRQs are
disabled, as the ONLINE section runs with IRQs disabled.  The WARN wasn't
intended to be a requirement, e.g. disabling preemption is sufficient,
the IRQ thing was purely an aggressive sanity check since the helper was
only ever invoked via SMP function call.

Rename KVM's CPU hotplug callbacks accordingly.

README

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.
