Don't advance RIP or inject a single-step #DB if emulation signals a fault. This logic applies to all state updates that are conditional on clean retirement of the emulation instruction, e.g. updating RFLAGS was previously handled by commit 38827dbd3fb85 ("KVM: x86: Do not update EFLAGS on faulting emulation"). Not advancing RIP is likely a nop, i.e. ctxt->eip isn't updated with ctxt->_eip until emulation "retires" anyways. Skipping #DB injection fixes a bug reported by Andy Lutomirski where a #UD on SYSCALL due to invalid state with RFLAGS.RF=1 would loop indefinitely due to emulation overwriting the #UD with #DB and thus restarting the bad SYSCALL over and over.
