Allocate, get, and free the CPUID array in the Hyper-V CPUID test in the test's core helper, instead of copy+pasting code at each call site. In addition to deduplicating a small amount of code, restricting visibility of the array to a single invocation of the core test prevents "leaking" an array across test cases. Passing in @vcpu to the helper will also allow pivoting on VM-scoped information without needing to pass more booleans, e.g. to conditionally assert on features that require an in-kernel APIC. To avoid use-after-free bugs due to overzealous and careless developers, opportunstically add a comment to explain that the system-scoped helper caches the Hyper-V CPUID entries, i.e. that the caller is not responsible for freeing the memory.

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 reStructuredText 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.
