SubjectRe: [PATCH 2/2] KVM: X86: Fix null pointer reference for KVM_GET_MSRS

'dereference' but I'd also clarify that 'vcpu' is NULL.

Fixes: 12bc2132b15e ("KVM: X86: Do the same ignore_msrs check for feature msrs")

please (checkpatch.pl should've complained I guess)

I would've preserved vcpu version for non-gloal cases, e.g.

if (report_ignored_msrs) {
if (vcpu)
vcpu_unimpl(vcpu, "ignored %s: 0x%x data 0x%llx\n",
op, msr, data);
else
kvm_pr_unimpl("ignored %s: 0x%x data 0x%llx\n",
op, msr, data);
}
