x86: KVM: svm: remove hardcoded instruction length from intercepts
Various intercepts hard-code the respective instruction lengths to optimize skip_emulated_instruction(): when next_rip is pre-set we skip kvm_emulate_instruction(vcpu, EMULTYPE_SKIP). The optimization is, however, incorrect: different (redundant) prefixes could be used to enlarge the instruction. We can't really avoid decoding. svm->next_rip is not used when CPU supports 'nrips' (X86_FEATURE_NRIPS) feature: next RIP is provided in VMCB. The feature is not really new (Opteron G3s had it already) and the change should have zero affect. Remove manual svm->next_rip setting with hard-coded instruction lengths. The only case where we now use svm->next_rip is EXIT_IOIO: the instruction length is provided to us by hardware. Hardcoded RIP advancement remains in vmrun_interception(), this is going to be taken care of separately.
