KVM: x86: Add WARNs to detect out-of-bounds register indices
Add WARN_ON_ONCE() checks in kvm_register_{read,write}() to detect reg values that would cause KVM to overflow vcpu->arch.regs. Change the reg param to an 'int' to make it clear that the reg index is unverified. Regarding the overhead of WARN_ON_ONCE(), now that all fixed GPR reads and writes use dedicated accessors, e.g. kvm_rax_read(), the overhead is limited to flows where the reg index is generated at runtime. And there is at least one historical bug where KVM has generated an out-of- bounds access to arch.regs (see commit b68f3cc7, "KVM: x86: Always use 32-bit SMRAM save state for 32-bit kernels"). Adding the WARN_ON_ONCE() protection paves the way for additional cleanup related to kvm_reg and kvm_reg_ex.
