    ms/KVM: x86: always stop emulation on page fault
    
    inject_emulated_exception() returns true if and only if nested page
    fault happens. However, page fault can come from guest page tables
    walk, either nested or not nested. In both cases we should stop an
    attempt to read under RIP and give guest to step over its own page
    fault handler.
    
    This is also visible when an emulated instruction causes a #GP fault
    and the VMware backdoor is enabled.  To handle the VMware backdoor,
    KVM intercepts #GP faults; with only the next patch applied,
    x86_emulate_instruction() injects a #GP but returns EMULATE_FAIL
    instead of EMULATE_DONE.   EMULATE_FAIL causes handle_exception_nmi()
    (or gp_interception() for SVM) to re-inject the original #GP because it
    thinks emulation failed due to a non-VMware opcode.  This patch prevents
    the issue as x86_emulate_instruction() will return EMULATE_DONE after
    injecting the #GP.

    =====================
    Patchset description:
    
    fix emulation error on Windows bootup
    
    This series intended to fix (again) a bug that was a subject of the
    following change:
    
      6ea6e84 ("KVM: x86: inject exceptions produced by x86_decode_insn")
    
    Suddenly, that fix had a couple mistakes. First, ctxt->have_exception was
    not set if fault happened during instruction decoding. Second, returning
    value of inject_emulated_instruction was used to make the decision to
    reenter guest, but this could happen iff on nested page fault, that is not
    the scope where this bug could occur.
