Routine check_cr_write() will trigger emulator_get_cpuid()->
kvm_cpuid() to get maxphyaddr, and NULL is passed as values
for ebx/ecx/edx. This is problematic because kvm_cpuid() will
dereference these pointers.

Fixes: d1cd3ce90044 ("KVM: MMU: check guest CR3 reserved bits based on its physical address width.")

Not sure if fixing kvm_cpuid() would be better.

kvm_cpuid ultimately wants to write all four of the GPRs passed in by
reference. I don't see any advantage to allowing some of these
pointers to be NULL.

Thanks for your comments, Jim & David.

2 reasons I did not choose to change kvm_cpuid():
1> like Jim's comments, kvm_cpuid() will eventually write the *eax - 
*edx no matter
a cpuid entry is found or not;
2> currently, return value of kvm_cpuid() is either true when an entry 
is found or false
otherwise. We can change kvm_cpuid() to check the pointers of GPRs 
against NULL and
return false immediately. Then the false value would have 2 different 
meanings - entry
not found, or invalid params.

Paolo, any suggestion? :-)

Thanks
