Drop the superfluous invocation of hardware_disable_nolock() during kvm_exit(), as it's nothing more than a glorified nop. KVM automatically disables hardware on all CPUs when the last VM is destroyed, and kvm_exit() cannot be called until the last VM goes away as the calling module is pinned by an elevated refcount of the fops associated with /dev/kvm. This holds true even on x86, where the caller of kvm_exit() is not kvm.ko, but is instead a dependent module, kvm_amd.ko or kvm_intel.ko, as kvm_chardev_ops.owner is set to the module that calls kvm_init(), not hardcoded to the base kvm.ko module.

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 Restructured Text 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.
