When exiting to userspace to service an emulated MMIO write, copy the
to-be-written value to a scratch field in the MMIO fragment if the size
of the data payload is 8 bytes or less, i.e. can fit in a single chunk,
instead of pointing the fragment directly at the source value.
This fixes a class of use-after-free bugs that occur when the emulator
initiates a write using an on-stack, local variable as the source, the
write splits a page boundary, *and* both pages are MMIO pages. Because
KVM's ABI only allows for physically contiguous MMIO requests, accesses
that split MMIO pages are separated into two fragments, and are sent to
userspace one at a time. When KVM attempts to complete userspace MMIO in
response to KVM_RUN after the first fragment, KVM will detect the second
fragment and generate a second userspace exit, and reference the on-stack
variable.
The issue is most visible if the second KVM_RUN is performed by a separate
task, in which case the stack of the initiating task can show up as truly
freed data.

==================================================================
The bug can also be reproduced with a targeted KVM-Unit-Test by hacking
KVM to fill a large on-stack variable in complete_emulated_mmio(), i.e. by
overwrite the data value with garbage.
Limit the use of the scratch fields to 8-byte or smaller accesses, and to
just writes, as larger accesses and reads are not affected thanks to
implementation details in the emulator, but add a sanity check to ensure
those details don't change in the future. Specifically, KVM never uses
on-stack variables for accesses larger that 8 bytes, e.g. uses an operand
in the emulator context, and *all* reads are buffered through the mem_read
cache.
Note! Using the scratch field for reads is not only unnecessary, it's
also extremely difficult to handle correctly. As above, KVM buffers all
reads through the mem_read cache, and heavily relies on that behavior when
re-emulating the instruction after a userspace MMIO read exit. If a read
splits a page, the first page is NOT an MMIO page, and the second page IS
an MMIO page, then the MMIO fragment needs to point at _just_ the second
chunk of the destination, i.e. its position in the mem_read cache. Taking
the "obvious" approach of copying the fragment value into the destination
when re-emulating the instruction would clobber the first chunk of the
destination, i.e. would clobber the data that was read from guest memory.
