Commit c77fb5fe6f ("KVM: x86: Allow the guest to run with dirty debug
registers") allows the guest accessing to DRs without exiting when
KVM_DEBUGREG_WONT_EXIT and we need to ensure that they are synchronized
on entry to the guest---including DR6 that was not synced before the commit.
But the commit sets the hardware DR6 not only when KVM_DEBUGREG_WONT_EXIT,
but also when KVM_DEBUGREG_BP_ENABLED. The second case is unnecessary
and just leads to a more case which leaks stale DR6 to the host which has
to be resolved by unconditionally reseting DR6 in kvm_arch_vcpu_put().
Even if KVM_DEBUGREG_WONT_EXIT, however, setting the host DR6 only matters
on VMX because SVM always uses the DR6 value from the VMCB. So move this
line to vmx.c and make it conditional on KVM_DEBUGREG_WONT_EXIT.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
