[PATCH 3.2 064/126] KVM: x86: fix wbinvd_dirty_mask use-after-free

commit bd768e146624cbec7122ed15dead8daa137d909d upstream.

vcpu->arch.wbinvd_dirty_mask may still be used after freeing it,
corrupting memory. For example, the following call trace may set a bit
in an already freed cpu mask:
kvm_arch_vcpu_load
vcpu_load
vmx_free_vcpu_nested
vmx_free_vcpu
kvm_arch_vcpu_free

Fix this by deferring freeing of wbinvd_dirty_mask.
