Subject: [PATCH] KVM: SVM: Clear current_vmcb during vCPU free for all
*possible* CPUs

When freeing a vCPU and thus its VMCB, clear current_vmcb for all possible CPUs, not just online CPUs, as it's theoretically possible a CPU could go offline and come back online in conjunction with KVM reusing the page for a new VMCB.

Fixes fd65d3142f73 ("kvm: svm: Ensure an IBPB on all affected CPUs when freeing a vmcb")
