Summary
KVM: x86: wean fast IN from emulator_pio_in
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

KVM: x86: wean fast IN from emulatorpioin

Use __emulatorpioin() directly for fast PIO instead of bouncing through emulatorpioin() now that __emulatorpioin() fills "val" when handling in-kernel PIO. vcpu->arch.pio.count is guaranteed to be '0', so this a pure nop.

emulatorpioinemulated is now the last caller of emulatorpio_in.

No functional change intended.
