The current limit for guest CPUID leaves (KVM_MAX_CPUID_ENTRIES, 80) is reported to be insufficient but before we bump it let's switch to allocating vcpu->arch.cpuid_entries[] array dynamically. Currently, 'struct kvm_cpuid_entry2' is 40 bytes so vcpu->arch.cpuid_entries is 3200 bytes which accounts for 1/4 of the whole 'struct kvm_vcpu_arch' but having it pre-allocated (for all vCPUs which we also pre-allocate) gives us no real benefits. Another plus of the dynamic allocation is that we now do kvm_check_cpuid() check before we assign anything to vcpu->arch.cpuid_nent/cpuid_entries so no changes are made in case the check fails. Opportunistically remove unneeded 'out' labels from kvm_vcpu_ioctl_set_cpuid()/kvm_vcpu_ioctl_set_cpuid2() and return directly whenever possible.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
