Ensure vcpu->cpu is read once when signalling the AVIC doorbell. If the compiler rereads the field and the vCPU is migrated between the check and writing the doorbell, KVM would signal the wrong physical CPU. Functionally, signalling the wrong CPU in this case is not an issue as task migration means the vCPU has exited and will pick up any pending interrupts on the next VMRUN. Add the READ_ONCE() purely to clean up the code. Opportunistically add a comment explaining the task migration behavior, and rename cpuid=>cpu to avoid conflating the CPU number with KVM's more common usage of CPUID.

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.
