KVM: VMX: remove I/O port 0x80 bypass on Intel hosts
This fixes CVE-2017-1000407. KVM allows guests to directly access I/O port 0x80 on Intel hosts. If the guest floods this port with writes it generates exceptions and instability in the host kernel, leading to a crash. With this change guest writes to port 0x80 on Intel will behave the same as they currently behave on AMD systems. Prevent the flooding by removing the code that sets port 0x80 as a passthrough port. This is essentially the same as upstream patch 99f85a28, except that patch was for AMD chipsets and this patch is for Intel.
