KVM: x86: Register "emergency disable" callbacks when virt is enabled
Register the "disable virtualization in an emergency" callback just before KVM enables virtualization in hardware, as there is no functional need to keep the callbacks registered while KVM happens to be loaded, but is inactive, i.e. if KVM hasn't enabled virtualization. Note, unregistering the callback every time the last VM is destroyed could have measurable latency due to the synchronize_rcu() needed to ensure all references to the callback are dropped before KVM is unloaded. But the latency should be a small fraction of the total latency of disabling virtualization across all CPUs, and userspace can set enable_virt_at_load to completely eliminate the runtime overhead. Add a pointer in kvm_x86_ops to allow vendor code to provide its callback. There is no reason to force vendor code to do the registration, and either way KVM would need a new kvm_x86_ops hook.
