Now that KVM loads from vcpu_array if and only if the target index is
valid with respect to online_vcpus, i.e. now that it is safe to erase a
not-fully-onlined vCPU entry, revert to storing into vcpu_array before
success is guaranteed.
If xa_store() fails, which _should_ be impossible, then putting the vCPU's
reference to 'struct kvm' results in a refcounting bug as the vCPU fd has
been installed and owns the vCPU's reference.
This was found by inspection, but forcing the xa_store() to fail
confirms the problem:

Practically speaking, this is a non-issue as xa_store() can't fail, absent
a nasty kernel bug. But the code is visually jarring and technically
broken.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
