[PATCH 1/2] target/arm: Needn't validate the target in scratch host

[Gavin Shan]

@init->target is always -1 and preferred target is retrieved from
host when @init isn't NULL in kvm_arm_create_scratch_host_vcpu().
So we can have the assumption that preferred target retrived from
host is tried prior to the specified target list.
