Subject: [PATCH 3.17 124/319] KVM: emulate: avoid accessing NULL ctxt->memopp

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

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

From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@...hat.com>

commit a430c9166312e1aa3d80bce32374233bdbfeba32 upstream.

A failure to decode the instruction can cause a NULL pointer access.
This is fixed simply by moving the "done" label as close as possible
to the return.

This fixes CVE-2014-8481.
