Subject: [PATCH v6 4/8] kvm: x86: Emulate split-lock access as a write in emulator

If split lock detect is on (warn/fatal), #AC handler calls die() when
split lock happens in kernel.

Malicous guest can exploit the KVM emulator to trigger split lock #AC
in kernel[1]. So just emulating the access as a write if it's a
split-lock access (the same as access spans page) to avoid malicious
guest attacking kernel.

More discussion can be found [2][3].
