[PATCH 4.19 STABLE 0/2] KVM: VMX: Fix null pointer dereference

[Sean Christopherson]

A simple fix for a null pointer dereference in vmx_vcpu_run() with an
ugly-but-safe prereq patch.

The fix also has a wart/hack where it marks RSP as clobbered using
ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT to workaround an issue where the VM-Exit label isn't
found by _something_ during modpost.  I vaguely recall seeing the same
issue when I first worked on this code a few years back.  I think it was
objtool that was confused, but I can't remember the details for the life
of me.  I don't have more cycles to throw at deciphering the thing, and
marking RSP as clobbered is safe, so I went with the hack.

Alternatively, reverting the offending commit (added in v4.19.119) would
fix the immediate issue, but RDX and RSI technically need to be marked as
clobbered even though it's extremely unlikely the compiler will consume
their bad value.  All of the above ugliness seems preferable to leaving a
known bug in place.
