KVM: SVM: Move RAX legality check to SVM insn interception handlers
When #GP is intercepted by KVM, the #GP interception handler checks whether the GPA in RAX is legal and reinjects the #GP accordingly. Otherwise, it calls into the appropriate interception handler for VMRUN/VMLOAD/VMSAVE. The intercept handlers do not check RAX. However, the intercept handlers need to do the RAX check, because if the guest has a smaller MAXPHYADDR, RAX could be legal from the hardware perspective (i.e. CPU does not inject #GP), but not from the vCPU's perspective. Note that with allow_smaller_maxphyaddr, both NPT and VLS cannot be used, so VMLOAD/VMSAVE have to be intercepted, and RAX can always be checked against the vCPU's MAXPHYADDR. Move the check into the interception handlers for VMRUN/VMLOAD/VMSAVE as the CPU does not check RAX before the interception. Read RAX using kvm_register_read() to avoid a false negative on page_address_valid() on 32-bit due to garbage in the higher bits. Keep the check in the #GP intercept handler in the nested case where a #VMEXIT is synthesized into L1, as the RAX check is still needed there and takes precedence over the intercept. Opportunistically add a FIXME about the #VMEXIT being synthesized into L1, as it needs to be conditional.
