[PATCH 42/44] KVM: Make hardware_enable_failed a local variable in the "enable all" path

From: Isaku Yamahata <isaku.yamahata at intel.com>
Rework detecting hardware enabling errors to use a local variable in the
"enable all" path to track whether or not enabling was successful across
all CPUs. Using a global variable complicates paths that enable hardware
only on the current CPU, e.g. kvm_resume() and kvm_online_cpu().
Opportunistically add a WARN if hardware enabling fails during
kvm_resume(), KVM is all kinds of hosed if CPU0 fails to enable hardware.
The WARN is largely futile in the current code, as KVM BUG()s on spurious
faults on VMX instructions, e.g. attempting to run a vCPU on CPU if
hardware enabling fails will explode.

kernel BUG at arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:508!
invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP
CPU: 3 PID: 1009 Comm: CPU 4/KVM Not tainted 6.1.0-rc1+ #11
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015
RIP: 0010:kvm_spurious_fault+0xa/0x10
Call Trace:
vmx_vcpu_load_vmcs+0x192/0x230 [kvm_intel]
vmx_vcpu_load+0x16/0x60 [kvm_intel]
kvm_arch_vcpu_load+0x32/0x1f0
vcpu_load+0x2f/0x40
kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0x19/0x9d0

__x64_sys_ioctl+0x80/0xb0
do_syscall_64+0x2b/0x50
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0
But, the WARN may provide a breadcrumb to understand what went awry, and
someday KVM may fix one or both of those bugs, e.g. by finding a way to
eat spurious faults no matter the context (easier said than done due to
side effects of certain operations, e.g. Intel's VMCLEAR).
