Explicitly drop the result of kvm_vcpu_write_guest() when writing the
"launch state" as part of VMCLEAR emulation, and add a comment to call
out that KVM's behavior is architecturally valid. Intel's pseudocode
effectively says that VMCLEAR is a nop if the target VMCS address isn't
in memory, e.g. if the address points at MMIO.
Add a FIXME to call out that suppressing failures on __copy_to_user() is
wrong, as memory (a memslot) does exist in that case. Punt the issue to
the future as open coding kvm_vcpu_write_guest() just to make sure the
guest dies with -EFAULT isn't worth the extra complexity. The flaw will
need to be addressed if KVM ever does something intelligent on uaccess
failures, e.g. to support post-copy demand paging, but in that case KVM
will need a more thorough overhaul, i.e. VMCLEAR shouldn't need to open
code a core KVM helper.
No functional change intended.
