KVM: x86: Refactor prefix decoding to prevent Spectre-v1/L1TF attacks
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1864775 commit 125ffc5e upstream. This fixes Spectre-v1/L1TF vulnerabilities in vmx_read_guest_seg_selector(), vmx_read_guest_seg_base(), vmx_read_guest_seg_limit() and vmx_read_guest_seg_ar(). When invoked from emulation, these functions contain index computations based on the (attacker-influenced) segment value. Using constants prevents the attack.
