Go directly to kvm_vcpu_block() when handling the case where userspace attempts to run an UNINITIALIZED vCPU. The vCPU isn't halted and its time spent in limbo arguably should not be factored into halt-polling as the behavior of the VM at this point is not at all indicative of the behavior of the VM once it is up and running, i.e. executing HLT in idle tasks. Note, because this case is encountered only on the first run of an AP vCPU, vcpu->halt_poll_ns is guaranteed to be '0', and so KVM will not attempt halt-polling, i.e. this really only affects the post-block bookkeeping.
