work.

1) Enforce KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS <= KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS rule on all
  architectures. [Sean Christopherson]
2) Make KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS return num_online_cpus() and not an arbitrary
  value of '710' on x86.

Everything but x86 was only 'eyeball tested', the change is trivial
but sorry in advance if I screwed up)

Christian, can you look at this for s390?  Returning a fixed value seems wrong for KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS.

If we talk about recommended number, then num_online_cpus() also seems to make sense on s390 so
if you change that for s390 as well I can ACK this.
