KVM: x86: Sanity check that kvm_has_noapic_vcpu is zero at module_exit()

Browse source

WARN if kvm.ko is unloaded with an elevated kvm_has_noapic_vcpu to guard
against incorrect management of the key, e.g. to detect if KVM fails to
decrement the key in error paths.  Because kvm_has_noapic_vcpu is purely
an optimization, in all likelihood KVM could completely botch handling of
kvm_has_noapic_vcpu and no one would notice (which is a good argument for
deleting the key entirely, but that's a problem for another day).

Note, ideally the sanity check would be performance when kvm_usage_count
goes to zero, but adding an arch callback just for this sanity check isn't
at all worth doing.
