[PATCH] KVM: X86: eliminate some meaningless code

From: linmiaohe
Date: Fri Feb 21 2020 - 09:04:13 EST


From: Miaohe Lin <linmiaohe@xxxxxxxxxx>

When kvm_vcpu_ioctl_get_cpuid2() fails, we set cpuid->nent to the value of
vcpu->arch.cpuid_nent. But this is in vain as cpuid->nent is not copied to
userspace by copy_to_user() from call site. Get rid of this meaningless
assignment and further cleanup the var r and out jump label.

On the other hand, when kvm_vcpu_ioctl_get_cpuid2() succeeds, we do not
change the content of struct cpuid. We can avoid copy_to_user() from call
site as struct cpuid remain unchanged.
