KVM: MIPS: Use CP0_BadInstr[P] for emulation
When exiting from the guest, store the values of the CP0_BadInstr and CP0_BadInstrP registers if they exist, which contain the encodings of the instructions which caused the last synchronous exception. When the instruction is needed for emulation, kvm_get_badinstr() and kvm_get_badinstrp() are used instead of calling kvm_get_inst() directly, to decide whether to read the saved CP0_BadInstr/CP0_BadInstrP registers (if they exist), or read the instruction from memory (if not). The use of these registers should be more robust than using kvm_get_inst(), as it actually gives the instruction encoding seen by the hardware rather than relying on user accessors after the fact, which can be fooled by incoherent icache or a racing code modification. It will also work with VZ, where the guest virtual memory isn't directly accessible by the host with user accessors.
