From: Liran Alon liran.alon@oracle.com
commit 61cb57c9ed631c95b54f8e9090c89d18b3695b3c upstream.
Instruction emulation after trapping a #UD exception can result in an MMIO access, for example when emulating a MOVBE on a processor that doesn't support the instruction. In this case, the #UD vmexit handler must exit to user mode, but there wasn't any code to do so. Add it for both VMX and SVM.
