Moving the initialization earlier is needed in 4.6 because kvm_arch_init_vm is now using mmu_lock, causing lockdep to complain: [ 284.440294] INFO: trying to register non-static key. [ 284.445259] the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation. [ 284.450736] turning off the locking correctness validator. ...

The new initialization order makes it possible to add the required mmdrop without adding a new error label.
