x86/sev: Check for user-space IOIO pointing to kernel space


Upstream commit: 63e44bc5

Check the memory operand of INS/OUTS before emulating the instruction.
The #VC exception can get raised from user-space, but the memory operand
can be manipulated to access kernel memory before the emulation actually
begins and after the exception handler has run.
