KVM: s390: sthyi: remove invalid guest write access
handle_sthyi() always writes to guest memory if the sthyi function code is zero in order to fault in the page that later is written to. However a function code of zero does not necessarily mean that a write to guest memory happens: if the KVM host is running as a second level guest under z/VM 6.2 the sthyi instruction is indicated to be available to the KVM host, however if the instruction is executed it will always return with a return code that indicates "unsupported function code". In such a case handle_sthyi() must not write to guest memory. This means that the prior write access to fault in the guest page may result in invalid guest exceptions, and/or invalid data modification. In order to be architecture compliant simply remove the write_guest() call. Given that the guest assumed a write access anyway, this fix does not qualify for -stable. This just makes sure the sthyi handler is architecture compliant.
