[PATCH v2 12/12] x86/traps: Fix up invalid PASID

A #GP fault is generated when ENQCMD instruction is executed without
a valid PASID value programmed in the current thread's PASID MSR. The
#GP fault handler will initialize the MSR if a PASID has been allocated
for this process.

Decoding the user instruction is ugly and sets a bad architecture
precedent. It may not function if the faulting instruction is modified
after #GP.

Thomas suggested to provide a reason for the #GP caused by executing ENQCMD
without a valid PASID value programmed. #GP error codes are 16 bits and all
16 bits are taken. Refer to SDM Vol 3, Chapter 16.13 for details. The other
choice was to reflect the error code in an MSR. ENQCMD can also cause #GP
when loading from the source operand, so its not fully comprehending all
the reasons. Rather than special case the ENQCMD, in future Intel may
choose a different fault mechanism for such cases if recovery is needed on
#GP.

The following heuristic is used to avoid decoding the user instructions
to determine the precise reason for the #GP fault:
1) If the mm for the process has not been allocated a PASID, this #GP
   cannot be fixed.
2) If the PASID MSR is already initialized, then the #GP was for some
   other reason
3) Try initializing the PASID MSR and returning. If the #GP was from
   an ENQCMD this will fix it. If not, the #GP fault will be repeated
   and will hit case "2".

v2:
- Update the first paragraph of the commit message (Thomas)
- Add reasons why don't decode the user instruction and don't use
  #GP error code (Thomas)
- Change get_task_mm() to current->mm (Thomas)
- Add comments on why IRQ is disabled during PASID fixup (Thomas)
- Add comment in fixup() that the function is called when #GP is from
  user (so mm is not NULL) (Dave Hansen)
