Explicitly drop the result of kvm_vcpu_write_guest() when writing the "launch state" as part of VMCLEAR emulation, and add a comment to call out that KVM's behavior is architecturally valid. Intel's pseudocode effectively says that VMCLEAR is a nop if the target VMCS address isn't in memory, e.g. if the address points at MMIO. Add a FIXME to call out that suppressing failures on __copy_to_user() is wrong, as memory (a memslot) does exist in that case. Punt the issue to the future as open coding kvm_vcpu_write_guest() just to make sure the guest dies with -EFAULT isn't worth the extra complexity. The flaw will need to be addressed if KVM ever does something intelligent on uaccess failures, e.g. to support post-copy demand paging, but in that case KVM will need a more thorough overhaul, i.e. VMCLEAR shouldn't need to open code a core KVM helper. No functional change intended.
