compare_xsave() stops at index 4094, so the last byte of the XSAVE state
is never compared.  Both buffers handed to it are 4096 bytes: the host
copy is a struct kvm_xsave, whose region[] member is 1024 u32s, and the
guest copy is the PAGE_SIZE shared page that guest_code_xsave() runs
XSAVE into.  A VMSA synchronization bug that corrupted only that final
byte would go unreported and the test would still pass.

Bound the loop with sizeof(struct kvm_xsave) rather than an open-coded
length, and make the index unsigned so it does not mix signedness with
sizeof.
