Subject: [PATCH] KVM: cpuid: Fix read/write out-of-bounds vulnerability in cpuid emulation

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@...mail.com>

If "i" is the last element in the vcpu->arch.cpuid_entries[] array, it 
potentially can be exploited the vulnerability. this will out-of-bounds 
read and write the unused memory in host OS.

This patch fixes it by modding the index to avoid the out-of-bounds. At 
the worst case, i == j and ej->function == e->function, the loop can bail
out.
