Invoke kvm_coalesced_mmio_init() from kvm_create_vm() now that allocating and initializing coalesced MMIO objects is separate from registering any associated devices. Moving coalesced MMIO cleans up the last oddity where KVM does VM creation/initialization after kvm_create_vm(), and more importantly after kvm_arch_post_init_vm() is called and the VM is added to the global vm_list, i.e. after the VM is fully created as far as KVM is concerned. Originally, kvm_coalesced_mmio_init() was called by kvm_create_vm(), but the original implementation was completely devoid of error handling. Commit6ce5a090a9("KVM: coalesced_mmio: fix kvm_coalesced_mmio_init()'s error handling" fixed the various bugs, and in doing so rightly moved the call to after kvm_create_vm() because kvm_coalesced_mmio_init() also registered the coalesced MMIO device. Commit2b3c246a68("KVM: Make coalesced mmio use a device per zone") cleaned up that mess by having each zone register a separate device, i.e. moved device registration to its logical home in kvm_vm_ioctl_register_coalesced_mmio(). As a result, kvm_coalesced_mmio_init() is now a "pure" initialization helper and can be safely called from kvm_create_vm(). Opportunstically drop the #ifdef, KVM provides stubs for kvm_coalesced_mmio_{init,free}() when CONFIG_KVM_MMIO=n (s390).

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.
