Josh Poimboeuf 3901336ed9 x86/kvm: Don't call kvm_spurious_fault() from .fixup
After making a change to improve objtool's sibling call detection, it
started showing the following warning:

  arch/x86/kvm/vmx/nested.o: warning: objtool: .fixup+0x15: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame

The problem is the ____kvm_handle_fault_on_reboot() macro.  It does a
fake call by pushing a fake RIP and doing a jump.  That tricks the
unwinder into printing the function which triggered the exception,
rather than the .fixup code.

Instead of the hack to make it look like the original function made the
call, just change the macro so that the original function actually does
make the call.  This allows removal of the hack, and also makes objtool
happy.

I triggered a vmx instruction exception and verified that the stack
trace is still sane:

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.
