3.6.11.5 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Gleb Natapov [ Upstream commit 8d76c49e9ffeee839bc0b7a3278a23f99101263e ] The invalid guest state emulation loop does not check halt_request which causes 100% cpu loop while guest is in halt and in invalid state, but more serious issue is that this leaves halt_request set, so random instruction emulated by vm86 #GP exit can be interpreted as halt which causes guest hang. Fix both problems by handling halt_request in emulation loop.
