KVM: x86: Bug the VM if the emulator generates a bogus exception vector
Bug the VM if KVM's emulator attempts to inject a bogus exception vector. The guest is likely doomed even if KVM continues on, and propagating a bad vector to the rest of KVM runs the risk of breaking other assumptions in KVM and thus triggering a more egregious bug. All existing users of emulate_exception() have hardcoded vector numbers (__load_segment_descriptor() uses a few different vectors, but they're all hardcoded), and future users are likely to follow suit, i.e. the change to emulate_exception() is a glorified nop. As for the ctxt->exception.vector check in x86_emulate_insn(), the few known times the WARN has been triggered in the past is when the field was not set when synthesizing a fault, i.e. for all intents and purposes the check protects against consumption of uninitialized data.
