KVM/VMX: Avoid stack engine synchronization uop in __vmx_vcpu_run
Avoid instructions with explicit uses of the stack pointer between
instructions that implicitly refer to it. The sequence of
POP %reg; ADD $x, %RSP; POP %reg forces emission of synchronization
uop to synchronize the value of the stack pointer in the stack engine
and the out-of-order core.
Using POP with the dummy register instead of ADD $x, %RSP results in a
smaller code size and faster code.
The patch also fixes the reference to the wrong register in the
nearby comment.
