Given the timing, I assume the just-added AVX emulation support broke something,
but for the life of me I can't repro the splat, and I've spent several hours
going over the code and can't find a smoking gun.  Based on the limited stack
trace and context, AFAICT exception.vector is left at '-1' from init_emulate_ctxt(),
and re-emulating an already-decoded INS after a userspace exit triggers the WARN.

The only path I see that has any possibility of generating X86EMUL_PROPAGATE_FAULT
without setting the exception info is if KVM managed to pass gva=-1ull to
nonpaging_gva_to_gpa(), in which case KVM would regurgitate the gva as the gpa,
which would result in a false positive on INVALID_GPA.  But nonpaging_gva_to_gpa()
should be unreachable given how the guest is configured.

So, to try rule out the AVX changes, linux-next with the AVX changes reverted:
