[PATCH v2 4/8] KVM: Initialize a vCPU's index to '-1' while it's being created

[Sean Christopherson]

Invalidate a vCPU's index immediately after allocating storage for the vCPU
so that KVM doesn't incorrectly treat a vCPU that is the process of being
created as being vCPU0.  This will also allow detecting that a vCPU is in
the process of being created and thus otherwise unreachable, which is
useful for avoiding false positives in lockdep assertions on vcpu->mutex.

Note, kvm_wait_for_vcpu_online() naturally does the right thing thanks to
vcpu->vcpu_idx and kvm->online_vcpus being signed values.
