This patch avoids gcc issuing the following warning when KVM_MAX_VCPUS=1:
warning: array subscript is above array bounds

kvm_for_each_vcpu currently checks to see if the index for the vcpu is
valid /after/ loading it. We don't run into problems because the address
is still inside the enclosing struct kvm and we never deference or write
to it, so this isn't a security issue.

The warning occurs when KVM_MAX_VCPUS=1 because the increment portion of
the loop will *always* cause the loop to load an invalid location since
++idx will always be > 0.

This patch moves the load so that the check occurs before the load and
we don't run into the compiler warning.
