KVM: handle last_boosted_vcpu = 0 case
If last_boosted_vcpu == 0, then we fall through all test cases and may end up with all VCPUs pouncing on vcpu 0. With a large enough guest, this can result in enormous runqueue lock contention, which can prevent vcpu0 from running, leading to a livelock. Changing < to <= makes sure we properly handle that case.
