KVM: Remove redundant reading of rax on OUT instructions

Browse Source 
kvm_emulate_pio() and complete_pio() both read out the
RAX register value and copy it to a place into which
the value read out from the port will be copied later.

This patch removes this redundancy.

/*** snippet from arch/x86/kvm/x86.c ***/
int complete_pio(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
{
	...
	if (!io->string) {
		if (io->in) {
			val = kvm_register_read(vcpu, VCPU_REGS_RAX);
			memcpy(&val, vcpu->arch.pio_data, io->size);
			kvm_register_write(vcpu, VCPU_REGS_RAX, val);
		}
	...
