KVM: SVM: Restore correct registers after sel_cr0 intercept emulation
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.
