KVM: x86: Allow clearing RFLAGS.RF on forced emulation to test code #DBs
Extend force_emulation_prefix to an 'int' and use bit 1 as a flag to indicate that KVM should clear RFLAGS.RF before emulating, e.g. to allow tests to force emulation of code breakpoints in conjunction with MOV/POP SS blocking, which is impossible without KVM intervention as VMX unconditionally sets RFLAGS.RF on intercepted #UD. Make the behavior controllable so that tests can also test RFLAGS.RF=1 (again in conjunction with code #DBs). Note, clearing RFLAGS.RF won't create an infinite #DB loop as the guest's IRET from the #DB handler will return to the instruction and not the prefix, i.e. the restart won't force emulation. Opportunistically convert the permissions to the preferred octal format.
