commit 31c25585695abdf03d6160aa6d829e855b256329 upstream.
Revert a completely broken check on an "invalid" RIP in SVM's workaround
for the DecodeAssists SMAP errata. kvm_vcpu_gfn_to_memslot() obviously
expects a gfn, i.e. operates in the guest physical address space, whereas
RIP is a virtual (not even linear) address. The "fix" worked for the
problematic KVM selftest because the test identity mapped RIP.
Fully revert the hack instead of trying to translate RIP to a GPA, as the
non-SEV case is now handled earlier, and KVM cannot access guest page
tables to translate RIP.
This reverts commit e72436bc3a5206f95bb384e741154166ddb3202e.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
