Ensure that any new KVM code that references immediate_exit gets extra scrutiny by renaming it to immediate_exit__unsafe in kernel code. All fields in struct kvm_run are subject to TOCTOU races since they are mapped into userspace, which may be malicious or buggy. To protect KVM, introduces a new macro that appends __unsafe to select field names in struct kvm_run, hinting to developers and reviewers that accessing such fields must be done carefully. Apply the new macro to immediate_exit, since userspace can make immediate_exit inconsistent with vcpu->wants_to_run, i.e. accessing immediate_exit directly could lead to unexpected bugs in the future.
