KVM: x86: fix emulation of "MOV SS, null selector"
This is CVE-2017-2583. On Intel this causes a failed vmentry because SS's type is neither 3 nor 7 (even though the manual says this check is only done for usable SS, and the dmesg splat says that SS is unusable!). On AMD it's worse: svm.c is confused and sets CPL to 0 in the vmcb. The fix fabricates a data segment descriptor when SS is set to a null selector, so that CPL and SS.DPL are set correctly in the VMCS/vmcb. Furthermore, only allow setting SS to a NULL selector if SS.RPL < 3; this in turn ensures CPL < 3 because RPL must be equal to CPL. Thanks to Andy Lutomirski and Willy Tarreau for help in analyzing the bug and deciphering the manuals.
