KVM: SVM: Restore correct registers after sel_cr0 intercept emulation

Browse source

This patch implements restoring of the correct rip, rsp, and
rax after the svm emulation in KVM injected a selective_cr0
write intercept into the guest hypervisor. The problem was
that the vmexit is emulated in the instruction emulation
which later commits the registers right after the write-cr0
instruction. So the l1 guest will continue to run with the
l2 rip, rsp and rax resulting in unpredictable behavior.

This patch is not the final word, it is just an easy patch
to fix the issue. The real fix will be done when the
instruction emulator is made aware of nested virtualization.
Until this is done this patch fixes the issue and provides
an easy way to fix this in -stable too.
