It would be safer to move the call within kvm_arch_vcpu_create(), not to
postcreate(). postcreate() runs after the vCPU file descriptor is exposed to
userspace, e.g. KVM_GET_TSC_KHZ could theoretically read the wrong value. I
don't know if there's anything more sinister that could be done, but I also
don't see any reason to find out :-)
