    x86/VMX: sanitize rIP before re-entering guest

    ... to prevent guest user mode arranging for a guest crash (due to
    failed VM entry). (On the AMD system I checked, hardware is doing
    exactly the canonicalization being added here.)

    Note that fixing this in an architecturally correct way would be quite
    a bit more involved: Making the x86 instruction emulator check all
    branch targets for validity, plus dealing with invalid rIP resulting
    from update_guest_eip() or incoming directly during a VM exit. The only
    way to get the latter right would be by not having hardware do the
    injection.

    Note further that there are a two early returns from
    vmx_vmexit_handler(): One (through vmx_failed_vmentry()) leads to
    domain_crash() anyway, and the other covers real mode only and can
    neither occur with a non-canonical rIP nor result in an altered rIP,
    so we don't need to force those paths through the checking logic.

    This is CVE-2016-2271 / XSA-170.
