KVM: x86: avoid calling x86 emulator without a decoded instruction
Whenever x86_decode_emulated_instruction() detects a breakpoint, it returns the value that kvm_vcpu_check_breakpoint() writes into its pass-by-reference second argument. Unfortunately this is completely bogus because the expected outcome of x86_decode_emulated_instruction is an EMULATION_* value. Then, if kvm_vcpu_check_breakpoint() does "*r = 0" (corresponding to a KVM_EXIT_DEBUG userspace exit), it is misunderstood as EMULATION_OK and x86_emulate_instruction() is called without having decoded the instruction. This causes various havoc from running with a stale emulation context. The fix is to move the call to kvm_vcpu_check_breakpoint() where it was before commit 4aa2691d ("KVM: x86: Factor out x86 instruction emulation with decoding") introduced x86_decode_emulated_instruction(). The other caller of the function does not need breakpoint checks, because it is invoked as part of a vmexit and the processor has already checked those before executing the instruction that #GP'd. This fixes CVE-2022-1852.
