KVM: emulate: protect checks on ctxt->d by a common "if (unlikely())"
There are several checks for "peculiar" aspects of instructions in both x86_decode_insn and x86_emulate_insn. Group them together, and guard them with a single "if" that lets the processor quickly skip them all. Make this more effective by adding two more flag bits that say whether the .intercept and .check_perm fields are valid. We will reuse these flags later to avoid initializing fields of the emulate_ctxt struct. This skims about 30 cycles for each emulated instructions, which is approximately a 3% improvement.
