Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 002/185] KVM: nSVM: Check for NRIPS support before updating control field

3.16.7-ckt15 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Bandan Das <bsd@...hat.com>

commit f104765b4f81fd74d69e0eb161e89096deade2db upstream.

If hardware doesn't support DecodeAssist - a feature that provides
more information about the intercept in the VMCB, KVM decodes the
instruction and then updates the next_rip vmcb control field.
However, NRIP support itself depends on cpuid Fn8000_000A_EDX[NRIPS].
Since skip_emulated_instruction() doesn't verify nrip support
before accepting control.next_rip as valid, avoid writing this
field if support isn't present.
