[PATCH] kvm: arm: remove BUG(preemptible()) check

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior]

native KVM crashes on -RT:

vgic_mmio_change_active() holds &irq->irq_lock spin lock which makes
context not-preemptible. On -RT the same lock is a sleeping lock and
thus it remains preemptible but can not be migrated to another CPU.

I *think* that the BUG() statement in kvm_arm_get_running_vcpu() is to
ensure that we don't switch CPUs while accessing per-CPU variables.
__this_cpu_write() + __this_cpu_read() will trigger a warning (with
CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT enabled) to spot such usage without crashing the
whole machine. Therefore I suggest to remove this check.
