KVM: Pre-allocate 1 cpumask variable per cpu for both pv tlb and pv ipis

Nick Desaulniers Reported:

  When building with:
  $ make CC=clang arch/x86/ CFLAGS=-Wframe-larger-than=1000
  The following warning is observed:
  arch/x86/kernel/kvm.c:494:13: warning: stack frame size of 1064 bytes in
  function 'kvm_send_ipi_mask_allbutself' [-Wframe-larger-than=]
  static void kvm_send_ipi_mask_allbutself(const struct cpumask *mask, int
  vector)
              ^
  Debugging with:
  https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/frame-larger-than


  via:
  $ python3 frame_larger_than.py arch/x86/kernel/kvm.o \
    kvm_send_ipi_mask_allbutself
  points to the stack allocated `struct cpumask newmask` in
  `kvm_send_ipi_mask_allbutself`. The size of a `struct cpumask` is
  potentially large, as it's CONFIG_NR_CPUS divided by BITS_PER_LONG for
  the target architecture. CONFIG_NR_CPUS for X86_64 can be as high as
  8192, making a single instance of a `struct cpumask` 1024 B.

This patch fixes it by pre-allocate 1 cpumask variable per cpu and use it for
both pv tlb and pv ipis..
