In the original code it's only vpid_sync_vcpu_single() which has 'vpid
== 0' check, vpid_sync_vcpu_global() doesn't have it. So in the
hypothetical situation when cpu_has_vmx_invvpid_single() is false AND
we've e.g. exhausted our VPID space and allocate_vpid() returned zero,
the new code just won't do anything while the old one would've done
__invvpid(VMX_VPID_EXTENT_ALL_CONTEXT, 0, 0), right?
