[patch 22/60] KVM: Fix hang on uniprocessor

[Greg KH]

2.6.23-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us
know.

------------------
From: Marko Kohtala <marko.kohtala@xxxxxxxxx>

This is not in mainline, as it was fixed differently in that tree.

first_cpu(cpus) returns the only CPU when NR_CPUS is 1 regardless of
the cpus mask. Therefore we avoid a kernel hang in
KVM_SET_MEMORY_REGION ioctl on uniprocessor by not entering the loop at
all.
