Peter Maydell 67ebea439d hw/hyperv: Avoid crash if hyperv_find_cpu() passed invalid vp_index
The hyperv_find_cpu() function finds a CPU from a CPU index; this is
basically a wrapper around qemu_get_cpu().  It is allowed to fail, in
which case it returns NULL, which its caller handles.  However, it
includes an assertion check which accidentally assumes the CPU
pointer is non-NULL.

We could assert only if cs != NULL, but the assertion here is not
doing anything interesting -- hyperv_vp_index() is a trivial wrapper
returning cs->cpu_index, so this is effectively asserting that
qemu_get_cpu() did what it claims to do, i.e.  returned us the CPU
matching the index we gave it.  qemu_get_cpu() is a simple "iterate
through list and find matching CPU" which is unlikely to be buggy,
and we don't feel the need to sanity-check it in any of our other
many uses of it.  Drop the assertion entirely.
