4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jim Mattson jmattson@google.com
commit de3a0021a60635de96aa92713c1a31a96747d72c upstream.
The potential performance advantages of a vmcs02 pool have never been realized. To simplify the code, eliminate the pool. Instead, a single vmcs02 is allocated per VCPU when the VCPU enters VMX operation.
