Add WARN_ON_ONCE() checks in kvm_register_{read,write}() to detect reg
values that would cause KVM to overflow vcpu->arch.regs. Change the reg
param to an 'int' to make it clear that the reg index is unverified.
Regarding the overhead of WARN_ON_ONCE(), now that all fixed GPR reads
and writes use dedicated accessors, e.g. kvm_rax_read(), the overhead
is limited to flows where the reg index is generated at runtime. And
there is at least one historical bug where KVM has generated an out-of-
bounds access to arch.regs (see commit b68f3cc7d9, "KVM: x86: Always
use 32-bit SMRAM save state for 32-bit kernels").
Adding the WARN_ON_ONCE() protection paves the way for additional
cleanup related to kvm_reg and kvm_reg_ex.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
