KVM: x86: fix singlestepping over syscall
commit c8401dda2f0a00cd25c0af6a95ed50e478d25de4 upstream. TF is handled a bit differently for syscall and sysret, compared to the other instructions: TF is checked after the instruction completes, so that the OS can disable #DB at a syscall by adding TF to FMASK. When the sysret is executed the #DB is taken "as if" the syscall insn just completed. KVM emulates syscall so that it can trap 32-bit syscall on Intel processors. Fix the behavior, otherwise you could get #DB on a user stack which is not nice. This does not affect Linux guests, as they use an IST or task gate for #DB. This fixes CVE-2017-7518.
