[PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 075/107] KVM: VMX: fix vmwrite to invalid VMCS

[Kamal Mostafa]

3.19.8-ckt5 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: =?UTF-8?q?Radim=20Kr=C4=8Dm=C3=A1=C5=99?= <rkrcmar@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 370777daab3f024f1645177039955088e2e9ae73 upstream.

fpu_activate is called outside of vcpu_load(), which means it should not
touch VMCS, but fpu_activate needs to.  Avoid the call by moving it to a
point where we know that the guest needs eager FPU and VMCS is loaded.

This will get rid of the following trace

 vmwrite error: reg 6800 value 0 (err 1)

  [<ffffffff811e4a51>] SyS_ioctl+0xa1/0xc0
  [<ffffffff81630949>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

(Note: we also unconditionally activate FPU in vmx_vcpu_reset(), so the
 removed code added nothing.)
