KVM: VMX: remove I/O port 0x80 bypass on Intel hosts
This fixes CVE-2017-1000407.
KVM allows guests to directly access I/O port 0x80 on Intel hosts. If
the guest floods this port with writes it generates exceptions and
instability in the host kernel, leading to a crash. With this change
guest writes to port 0x80 on Intel will behave the same as they
currently behave on AMD systems.
Prevent the flooding by removing the code that sets port 0x80 as a
passthrough port. This is essentially the same as upstream patch
99f85a28a78e96d28907fe036e1671a218fee597, except that patch was
for AMD chipsets and this patch is for Intel.
