KVM: x86: Grab regs_dirty in local 'unsigned long'



Capture ctxt->regs_dirty in a local 'unsigned long' instead of casting it
to an 'unsigned long *' for use in for_each_set_bit().  The bitops helpers
really do read the entire 'unsigned long', even though the walking of the
read value is capped at the specified size.  I.e. 64-bit KVM is reading
memory beyond ctxt->regs_dirty, which is a u32 and thus 4 bytes, whereas
an unsigned long is 8 bytes.  Functionally it's not an issue because
regs_dirty is in the middle of x86_emulate_ctxt, i.e. KVM is just reading
its own memory, but relying on that coincidence is gross and unsafe.
