The new behavior needs to be documented in api.rst.

This should be max_vcpu_ids. I agree the it _should_ be max_vcpu_id, but KVM's API
for this is awful and we're stuck with the plural name.

I think it makes sense to change kvm_vm_ioctl_check_extension() to return the
current max, it is a VM-scoped ioctl after all.

Amusingly, I think we also need a capability to enumerate that KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID
is writable.

This needs to be rejected if kvm->created_vcpus > 0, and that check needs to be
done under kvm_lock, otherwise userspace can bump the max ID after KVM allocates
per-VM structures and trigger buffer overflow.

If-elif-else statements need curly braces for all paths if any path needs braces.
Probably a moot point for this patch due to the above changes.

This should be -EINVAL, not -E2BIG.

E.g.

case KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID:
r = -EINVAL;
if (cap->args[0] > KVM_MAX_VCPU_IDS)
break;

mutex_lock(&kvm->lock);
if (!kvm->created_vcpus) {
kvm->arch.max_vcpu_id = cap->args[0];
r = 0;
}
mutex_unlock(&kvm->lock);
break;

Same here, it should be -EINVAL.
