[PATCH] KVM: nVMX: Inject #GP when nested_vmx_get_vmptr() fails to read guest memory

Syzbot reports the following issue:

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 6819 at arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:618 kvm_inject_emulated_page_fault+0x210/0x290 arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:618

vmx_handle_exit+0x29c/0x1260 arch/x86/kvm/vmx/vmx.c:6067

'exception' we're trying to inject with kvm_inject_emulated_page_fault() comes from
nested_vmx_get_vmptr()
kvm_read_guest_virt()
kvm_read_guest_virt_helper()
vcpu->arch.walk_mmu->gva_to_gpa()

but it is only set when GVA to GPA conversion fails. In case it doesn't but
we still fail kvm_vcpu_read_guest_page(), X86EMUL_IO_NEEDED is returned and
nested_vmx_get_vmptr() calls kvm_inject_emulated_page_fault() with zeroed
'exception'. This happen when e.g. VMXON/VMPTRLD/VMCLEAR argument is MMIO.

KVM could've handled the request correctly by going to userspace and
performing I/O but there doesn't seem to be a good need for such requests
in the first place. Sane guests should not call VMXON/VMPTRLD/VMCLEAR with
anything but normal memory. Just inject #GP to find insane ones.
