Subject: [PATCH linux-next 2/2] kvm-x86: emulator: disable kgdb-x86 on fastop and fpe flush

We have seen that when kvm-unit-tests runs with kgdb enabled, the
kernel halts on the debugger during the KVM x86 instruction emulation
that performs a test of a division by zero, and also during fwait.

This patch adds calls that temporarily disable the debugger trap.
