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.
