You should handle the KVM_S390_VM_CPU_FEAT_AP feature instead during
kvm_arch_vcpu_setup(), independent of any configured AP devices.

This avoids the races I mentioned in regards to this series and also
will handle hotplugged CPUs properly.

If KVM_S390_VM_CPU_FEAT_AP is configured for a guest -> each CPU sets
ECA_APIE during kvm_arch_vcpu_setup().


(In the vSIE code, simply allow to set ECA_APIE in the shadow SCB in
case KVM_S390_VM_CPU_FEAT_AP is enabled)
