KVM: x86: Forbid KVM_SET_CPUID{,2} after KVM_RUN
Commit 63f5a1909f9e ("KVM: x86: Alert userspace that KVM_SET_CPUID{,2} after KVM_RUN is broken") officially deprecated KVM_SET_CPUID{,2} ioctls after first successful KVM_RUN and promissed to make this sequence forbiden in 5.16. It's time to fulfil the promise. Signed-off-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@redhat.com> Message-Id: <20211122175818.608220-3-vkuznets@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
