KVM: VMX: Move RSB stuffing to before the first RET after VM-Exit
The not-so-recent change to move VMX's VM-Exit handing to a dedicated "function" unintentionally exposed KVM to a speculative attack from the guest by executing a RET prior to stuffing the RSB. Make RSB stuffing happen immediately after VM-Exit, before any unpaired returns. Alternatively, the VM-Exit path could postpone full RSB stuffing until its current location by stuffing the RSB only as needed, or by avoiding returns in the VM-Exit path entirely, but both alternatives are beyond ugly since vmx_vmexit() has multiple indirect callers (by way of vmx_vmenter()). And putting the RSB stuffing immediately after VM-Exit makes it much less likely to be re-broken in the future. Note, the cost of PUSH/POP could be avoided in the normal flow by pairing the PUSH RAX with the POP RAX in __vmx_vcpu_run() and adding an a POP to nested_vmx_check_vmentry_hw(), but such a weird/subtle dependency is likely to cause problems in the long run, and PUSH/POP will take all of a few cycles, which is peanuts compared to the number of cycles required to fill the RSB.
