KVM: VMX: Fix ds/es corruption on i386 with preemption
Commit b2da15ac ("KVM: VMX: Optimize %ds, %es reload") broke i386 in the following scenario: vcpu_load ... vmx_save_host_state vmx_vcpu_run (ds.rpl, es.rpl cleared by hardware) interrupt push ds, es # pushes bad ds, es schedule vmx_vcpu_put vmx_load_host_state reload ds, es (with __USER_DS) pop ds, es # of other thread's stack iret # other thread runs interrupt push ds, es schedule # back in vcpu thread pop ds, es # now with rpl=0 iret ... vcpu_put resume_userspace iret # clears ds, es due to mismatched rpl (instead of resume_userspace, we might return with SYSEXIT and then take an exception; when the exception IRETs we end up with cleared ds, es) Fix by avoiding the optimization on i386 and reloading ds, es on the lightweight exit path.
