Subject: [PATCH 1/6] KVM: SVM: Advance instruction pointer in dr_intercept

In the dr_intercept function a new cpu-feature called
decode-assists is implemented and used when available. This
code-path does not advance the guest-rip causing the guest
to dead-loop over mov-dr instructions. This is fixed by this
patch.
