KVM: s390: sthyi: remove invalid guest write access
handle_sthyi() always writes to guest memory if the sthyi function
code is zero in order to fault in the page that later is written to.
However a function code of zero does not necessarily mean that a write
to guest memory happens: if the KVM host is running as a second level
guest under z/VM 6.2 the sthyi instruction is indicated to be
available to the KVM host, however if the instruction is executed it
will always return with a return code that indicates "unsupported
function code".
In such a case handle_sthyi() must not write to guest memory. This
means that the prior write access to fault in the guest page may
result in invalid guest exceptions, and/or invalid data modification.
In order to be architecture compliant simply remove the write_guest()
call.
Given that the guest assumed a write access anyway, this fix does not
qualify for -stable. This just makes sure the sthyi handler is
architecture compliant.
