Subject: [PATCH v2 2/9] KVM: x86: Set guest DR6 by kvm_queue_exception_p() in instruction emulation

Record DR6 in emulate_db() and use kvm_queue_exception_p() to set DR6
instead of directly using kvm_set_dr6() in emulation, which keeps the
handling of DR6 during #DB injection consistent with other code paths.

No functional change intended.
