[PATCH] call preempt_notifier_init early enough

[Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka-S0/GAf8tV78@public.gmane.org>]

As vmx_create_vcpu already makes use of start/end_special_insn, we need
to initialise the emulated preempt_notifier earlier. Let's move it to
kvm_vcpu_init. This should fix an oops I've seen here at least once
during kvm startup - so far the problem did not show up again.
