[v2,45/50] KVM: Remove on_each_cpu(hardware_disable_nolock) in kvm_exit()

From: Isaku Yamahata <[e-mail]>

Drop the superfluous invocation of hardware_disable_nolock() during
kvm_exit(), as it's nothing more than a glorified nop.

KVM automatically disables hardware on all CPUs when the last VM is
destroyed, and kvm_exit() cannot be called until the last VM goes
away as the calling module is pinned by an elevated refcount of the fops
associated with /dev/kvm.  This holds true even on x86, where the caller
of kvm_exit() is not kvm.ko, but is instead a dependent module, kvm_amd.ko
or kvm_intel.ko, as kvm_chardev_ops.owner is set to the module that calls
kvm_init(), not hardcoded to the base kvm.ko module.
