Re: [PATCH 1/4] x86/kvm: remove a redundant variable

Similar comments to the other patch. "KVM: VMX:" for the scope, and a more descriptive
shortlog.

Also, this patch isn't part of a series, it should be simply "PATCH", not "patch 1/4".

The changelog should make it clear why it's ok to remove the redundant variable.
E.g.

KVM: VMX: Remove scratch 'cpu' variable that shadows an identical scratch var

Remove a redundant 'cpu' declaration from inside an if-statement that
that shadows an identical declaration at function scope. Both variables
are used as scratch variables in for_each_*_cpu() loops, thus there's no
harm in sharing a variable.

With that,
