[PATCH v2 29/49] KVM: x86: Remove unnecessary caching of KVM's PV CPUID base

[Sean Christopherson]

Now that KVM only searches for KVM's PV CPUID base when userspace sets
guest CPUID, drop the cache and simply do the search every time.

Practically speaking, this is a nop except for situations where userspace
sets CPUID _after_ running the vCPU, which is anything but a hot path,
e.g. QEMU does so only when hotplugging a vCPU.  And on the flip side,
caching guest CPUID information, especially information that is used to
query/modify _other_ CPUID state, is inherently dangerous as it's all too
easy to use stale information, i.e. KVM should only cache CPUID state when
the performance and/or programming benefits justify it.
