Linux kernel modifications for the Kernel Hacking exam

The cpu_emergency_register_virt_callback() function is used
unconditionally by the x86 kvm code, but it is declared (and defined)
conditionally:
#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KVM_INTEL) || IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KVM_AMD)
void cpu_emergency_register_virt_callback(cpu_emergency_virt_cb *callback);
...
leading to a build error when neither KVM_INTEL nor KVM_AMD support is
enabled:
arch/x86/kvm/x86.c: In function ‘kvm_arch_enable_virtualization’:
arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:12517:9: error: implicit declaration of function ‘cpu_emergency_register_virt_callback’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
12517 | cpu_emergency_register_virt_callback(kvm_x86_ops.emergency_disable_virtualization_cpu);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
arch/x86/kvm/x86.c: In function ‘kvm_arch_disable_virtualization’:
arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:12522:9: error: implicit declaration of function ‘cpu_emergency_unregister_virt_callback’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
12522 | cpu_emergency_unregister_virt_callback(kvm_x86_ops.emergency_disable_virtualization_cpu);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fix the build by defining empty helper functions the same way the old
cpu_emergency_disable_virtualization() function was dealt with for the
same situation.
Maybe we could instead have made the call sites conditional, since the
callers (kvm_arch_{en,dis}able_virtualization()) have an empty weak
fallback. I'll leave that to the kvm people to argue about, this at
least gets the build going for that particular config.
Fixes:

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 reStructuredText 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.
