KVM: x86: Get RIP from vCPU state when storing it to last_retry_eip

Browse source

Read RIP from vCPU state instead of pulling it from the emulation context
when filling last_retry_eip, which is part of the anti-infinite-loop
protection used when unprotecting and retrying instructions that hit a
write-protected gfn.

This will allow reusing the anti-infinite-loop protection in flows that
never make it into the emulator.

No functional change intended, as ctxt->eip is set to kvm_rip_read() in
init_emulate_ctxt(), and EMULTYPE_PF emulation is mutually exclusive with
EMULTYPE_NO_DECODE and EMULTYPE_SKIP, i.e. always goes through
x86_decode_emulated_instruction() and hasn't advanced ctxt->eip (yet).
