Rename kvm_arch_vcpu_setup() to kvm_s390_vcpu_setup() and manually call
the new function during kvm_arch_vcpu_create().  Define an empty
kvm_arch_vcpu_setup() as it's still required for compilation.  This
is effectively a nop as kvm_arch_vcpu_create() and kvm_arch_vcpu_setup()
are called back-to-back by common KVM code.  Obsoleting
kvm_arch_vcpu_setup() paves the way for its removal.

Note, gmap_remove() is now called if setup fails, as s390 was previously
freeing it via kvm_arch_vcpu_destroy(), which is called by common KVM
code if kvm_arch_vcpu_setup() fails.  
Yes, this looks like the only thing that needs to be undone
(sca_add_vcpu() is done later in the process.)

Maybe mention that gmap_remove() is for ucontrol only? I was confused
for a moment :)  
Will do.

Would it also make sense to open code __kvm_ucontrol_vcpu_init() in a
separate patch immediately preceding this change?  That'd make it a little
more obvious why gmap_remove() is called, and it would eliminate the
"uninit" verbiage in the label, e.g.:
I'm a bit undecided here; especially as I'm not sure if there are any
future plans with ucontrol. I'll leave that for Christian and Janosch
to decide.
