[PATCH v2 2/6] KVM: x86: Prioritize DR7.GD #DB over #GP due to illegal DR6/7 value

[Sean Christopherson]

When emulating a MOV DR, specifically a write to DR6 or DR7, treat a #DB
due to DR7.GD (General Detect) as higher priority than a #GP due to an
illegal value.  While neither Intel's SDM nor AMD's APM says anything
about the relative priority, empirical testing on Intel and AMD shows that
the #DB has higher priority.  And for VMX, where the instruction intercept
has priority over *all* exceptions, KVM already treats the #DB as having
higher priority.

Fixes: 3b88e41a4134 ("KVM: SVM: Add intercept check for accessing dr registers")
