Subject: KVM: x86: em_ret_far overrides cpl
From: Nadav Amit <nadav.amit@xxxxxxxxx>
commit ab646f54f4fd1a8b9671b8707f0739fdd28ce2b1 upstream.
commit d50eaa18039b ("KVM: x86: Perform limit checks when assigning EIP")
mistakenly used zero as cpl on em_ret_far. Use the actual one.
Fixes: d50eaa18039b8b848c2285478d0775335ad5e930
