Now that KVM loads from vcpu_array if and only if the target index is
valid with respect to online_vcpus, i.e. now that it is safe to erase a
not-fully-onlined vCPU entry, revert to storing into vcpu_array before
success is guaranteed.
If xa_store() fails, which _should_ be impossible, then putting the vCPU's
reference to 'struct kvm' results in a refcounting bug as the vCPU fd has
been installed and owns the vCPU's reference.
This was found by inspection, but forcing the xa_store() to fail
confirms the problem:

Practically speaking, this is a non-issue as xa_store() can't fail, absent
a nasty kernel bug. But the code is visually jarring and technically
broken.
This reverts commit afb2acb.
