Subject: [PATCH 3.14 05/76] KVM: VMX: avoid guest hang on invalid invept instruction

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

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

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

commit 2849eb4f99d54925c543db12917127f88b3c38ff upstream.

A guest executing an invalid invept instruction would hang
because the instruction pointer was not updated.
