Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 1/7] KVM: x86: only allow exits disable before vCPUs created

From: Sean Christopherson <[email protected]>

Since VMX and SVM both would never update the control bits if exits
are disable after vCPUs are created, only allow setting exits
disable flag before vCPU creation.

Fixes: 4d5422cea3b6 ("KVM: X86: Provide a capability to disable MWAIT
intercepts")

Sorry, I didn't see that you had sent v4 already and replied to some v3 patches.
This one still holds true for v4 (very minor nit though).

Don't wrap the Fixes: line (ignore any complaints from checkpatch).
