KVM: x86: Protect x86_decode_insn from Spectre-v1/L1TF attacks
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1864775 commit 3c9053a2 upstream. This fixes a Spectre-v1/L1TF vulnerability in x86_decode_insn(). kvm_emulate_instruction() (an ancestor of x86_decode_insn()) is an exported symbol, so KVM should treat it conservatively from a security perspective.
