From: Zhenzhong Duan <zhenzhong.duan@intel.com>

commit 5c49d1850ddd3240d20dc40b01f593e35a184f38 upstream.

When updating the host's mask for its MSR_IA32_TSX_CTRL user return entry,
clear the mask in the found uret MSR instead of vmx->guest_uret_msrs[i].
Modifying guest_uret_msrs directly is completely broken as 'i' does not
point at the MSR_IA32_TSX_CTRL entry. In fact, it's guaranteed to be an
out-of-bounds accesses as is always set to kvm_nr_uret_msrs in a prior
loop. By sheer dumb luck, the fallout is limited to "only" failing to
preserve the host's TSX_CTRL_CPUID_CLEAR. The out-of-bounds access is
benign as it's guaranteed to clear a bit in a guest MSR value, which are
always zero at vCPU creation on both x86-64 and i386.
