According to the APM, TF on VMRUN causes a #DB after VMRUN completes on
the _host_ side. However, KVM injects a #DB in L2 context instead (or
exits to userspace if KVM_GUESTDBG_SINGLESTEP is set) in
kvm_skip_emulated_instruction().
Avoid single-step handling on VMRUN by open-coding the rest of
kvm_skip_emulated_instruction() in nested_svm_vmrun(). This doesn't look
pretty, but following changes will need to open-code
kvm_pmu_instruction_retired() anyway, and will cleanup the code. This
ignores TF on VMRUN instead of injecting a spurious exception into
L2. Document this virtualization hole with a FIXME.
Note that a failed VMRUN would have been correctly single-stepped, but
now TF is always ignored for consistency and simplicity purposes. VMX
does not support TF on a successful VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME, so it's unlikely
that single-stepping VMRUN properly is important, especially if it's
only for failed VMRUNs.
