KVM: x86: Fix KVM_CAP_SYNC_REGS's sync_regs() TOCTOU issues
In a spirit of using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, make sync_regs() feed __set_sregs() and kvm_vcpu_ioctl_x86_set_vcpu_events() with kernel's own copy of data. Both __set_sregs() and kvm_vcpu_ioctl_x86_set_vcpu_events() assume they have exclusive rights to structs they operate on. While this is true when coming from an ioctl handler (caller makes a local copy of user's data), sync_regs() breaks this contract; a pointer to a user-modifiable memory (vcpu->run->s.regs) is provided. This can lead to a situation when incoming data is checked and/or sanitized only to be re-set by a user thread running in parallel.
