Subject: [PATCH 3.13 36/46] KVM: MMU: handle invalid root_hpa at __direct_map

3.13-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@...hat.com>

commit 989c6b34f6a9480e397b170cc62237e89bf4fdb9 upstream.

It is possible for __direct_map to be called on invalid root_hpa
(-1), two examples:

1) try_async_pf -> can_do_async_pf
    -> vmx_interrupt_allowed -> nested_vmx_vmexit
2) vmx_handle_exit -> vmx_interrupt_allowed -> nested_vmx_vmexit

Then to load_vmcs12_host_state and kvm_mmu_reset_context.

Check for this possibility, let fault exception be regenerated.
