Re: [PATCH v2 3/5] KVM: x86: warn on incorrectly NULL static calls

[Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>]

For the shortlog, it's not the "static call" that's incorrectly NULL, it's the
kvm_x86_ops.func that's wrong.  E.g. yank out static calls and KVM could still
keep the WARN.

As before, I'd prefer that we not have a KVM_X86_OP => KVM_X86_OP_OPTIONAL
dependency and instead have a common __KVM_X86_OP for this one case.
