Commit 4a1e10d5b5d8c (KVM: x86: handle hardware breakpoints during emulation())
adds hardware breakpoints check before emulation the instruction and parts of 
emulation context initialization, actually we don't have EMULTYPE_NO_DECODE flag 
here and the emulation context will not be reused. Commit c8848cee74ff (KVM: x86: 
set ctxt->have_exception in x86_decode_insn()) triggers the warning because it 
catches the stale emulation context has #UD, however, it is not during instruction 
decoding which should result in EMULATION_FAILED. This patch fixes it by moving 
the second part emulation context initialization before hardware breakpoints check.
