    KVM: x86: check for cr3 validity in ioctl_set_sregs
    
    commit 59839dfff5eabca01cc4e20b45797a60a80af8cb upstream.
    
    Matt T. Yourst notes that kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_set_sregs lacks validity
    checking for the new cr3 value:
    
    "Userspace callers of KVM_SET_SREGS can pass a bogus value of cr3 to
    the kernel. This will trigger a NULL pointer access in gfn_to_rmap()
    when userspace next tries to call KVM_RUN on the affected VCPU and kvm
    attempts to activate the new non-existent page table root.
    
    This happens since kvm only validates that cr3 points to a valid guest
    physical memory page when code *inside* the guest sets cr3. However, kvm
    currently trusts the userspace caller (e.g. QEMU) on the host machine to
    always supply a valid page table root, rather than properly validating
    it along with the rest of the reloaded guest state."

    Check for a valid cr3 address in kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_set_sregs, triple
    fault in case of failure.
