Use master abort semantics, i.e. reads return all ones and writes are
dropped, to handle unexpected MMIO accesses when reading guest memory
instead of returning X86EMUL_IO_NEEDED, which in turn gets interpreted
as a guest page fault.
Emulation of certain instructions, notably VMX instructions, involves
reading or writing guest memory without going through the emulator.
These emulation flows are not equipped to handle MMIO accesses as no
sane and properly functioning guest kernel will target MMIO with such
instructions, and so simply inject a page fault in response to
X86EMUL_IO_NEEDED.
While not 100% correct, using master abort semantics is at least
sometimes correct, e.g. non-existent MMIO accesses do actually master
abort, whereas injecting a page fault is always wrong, i.e. the issue
lies in the physical address domain, not in the virtual to physical
translation.
Apply the logic to kvm_write_guest_virt_system() in addition to
replacing existing #PF logic in kvm_read_guest_virt(), as VMPTRST uses
the former, i.e. can also leak a host stack address.
