commit 95e057e25892eaa48cad1e2d637b80d0f1a4fac5 upstream.
Reported by syzkaller:

The testcase creates a first thread to issue KVM_SMI ioctl, and then creates
a second thread to mmap and operate on the same vCPU. This triggers a race
condition when running the testcase with multiple threads. Sometimes one thread
exits with a triple fault while another thread mmaps and operates on the same
vCPU. Because CS=0x3000/IP=0x8000 is not mapped, accessing the SMI handler
results in an EPT misconfig. This patch fixes it by returning RET_PF_EMULATE
in kvm_handle_bad_page(), which will go on to cause an emulation failure and an
exit with KVM_EXIT_INTERNAL_ERROR.
