KVM: x86: Exit to userspace if emulation prepared a completion callback
em_rdmsr() and em_wrmsr() return X86EMUL_IO_NEEDED if MSR accesses required an exit to userspace. However, x86_emulate_insn() doesn't return X86EMUL_*, so x86_emulate_instruction() doesn't directly act on X86EMUL_IO_NEEDED; instead, it looks for other signals to differentiate between PIO, MMIO, etc. causing RDMSR/WRMSR emulation not to exit to userspace now. Nevertheless, if the userspace_msr_exit_test testcase in selftests is changed to test RDMSR/WRMSR with a forced emulation prefix, the test passes. What happens is that first userspace exit information is filled but the userspace exit does not happen. Because x86_emulate_instruction() returns 1, the guest retries the instruction---but this time RIP has already been adjusted past the forced emulation prefix, so the guest executes RDMSR/WRMSR and the userspace exit finally happens. Since the X86EMUL_IO_NEEDED path has provided a complete_userspace_io callback, x86_emulate_instruction() can just return 0 if the callback is not NULL. Then RDMSR/WRMSR instruction emulation will exit to userspace directly, without the RDMSR/WRMSR vmexit.
