KVM: x86: Protect x86_decode_insn from Spectre-v1/L1TF attacks

commit 3c9053a2 upstream.

This fixes a Spectre-v1/L1TF vulnerability in x86_decode_insn().
kvm_emulate_instruction() (an ancestor of x86_decode_insn()) is an exported
symbol, so KVM should treat it conservatively from a security perspective.

Fixes: 045a282c
