[PATCH v4 10/10] 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.
