[RFC PATCH v4 8/9] kvm, vmx: Add atomic synchronization with CPU Hotplug
preempt_disable() will no longer help prevent CPUs from going offline, once
stop_machine() gets removed from the CPU offline path. So use
get/put_online_cpus_atomic() in vmx_vcpu_load() to prevent CPUs from
going offline while clearing vmcs.
