KVM: VMX: fix vmx null pointer dereference on debug register access
There is a bug in KVM that can be used to crash a host on Intel machines. If emulator is tricked into emulating mov to/from DR instruction it causes NULL pointer dereference on VMX since kvm_x86_ops->(set|get)_dr are not initialized. Recently this is not exploitable from guest userspace, but malicious guest kernel can trigger it easily. CVE-2010-0435 On upstream bug was fixed differently around 2.6.34.
