Register KVM's cpuhp and syscore callbacks when enabling virtualization in
hardware, as the sole purpose of said callbacks is to disable and re-enable
virtualization as needed.
The primary motivation for this series is to simplify dealing with enabling
virtualization for Intel's TDX, which needs to enable virtualization
when kvm-intel.ko is loaded, i.e. long before the first VM is created.
That said, this is a nice cleanup on its own. By registering the callbacks
on-demand, the callbacks themselves don't need to check kvm_usage_count,
because their very existence implies a non-zero count.
Patch 1 (re)adds a dedicated lock for kvm_usage_count. This avoids a
lock ordering issue between cpus_read_lock() and kvm_lock. The lock
ordering issue still exist in very rare cases, and will be fixed for
good by switching vm_list to an (S)RCU-protected list.
