Disable PAUSE/MWAIT/HLT exits after vCPUs have been created is useless,
because PAUSE/MWAIT/HLT intercepts configuration is not changed after
vCPU created.  And two vCPUs may have inconsistent configuration if
disable PAUSE/MWAIT/HLT exits between those two vCPUs creation. Since
it's a per-VM capability, all vCPUs should keep same configuration, so
disallow enable KVM_CAP_X86_DISABLE_EXITS capability after vCPUs have
been created.

Hah!  I thought this looked familiar[*] :-)

PAUSE intercepts can be updated via 
SET_CPUID->vmx_vcpu_after_set_cpuid() after vCPU is created.

Aside it, this patch looks good to me.
