KVM: x86: Dynamically allocate per-vCPU emulation context
Allocate the emulation context instead of embedding it in struct kvm_vcpu_arch. Dynamic allocation provides several benefits: - Shrinks the size x86 vcpus by ~2.5k bytes, dropping them back below the PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER threshold. - Allows for dropping the include of kvm_emulate.h from asm/kvm_host.h and moving kvm_emulate.h into KVM's private directory. - Allows a reducing KVM's attack surface by shrinking the amount of vCPU data that is exposed to usercopy. - Allows a future patch to disable the emulator entirely, which may or may not be a realistic endeavor. Mark the entire struct as valid for usercopy to maintain existing behavior with respect to hardened usercopy. Future patches can shrink the usercopy range to cover only what is necessary.
