If KVM cannot find an exact match for a requested CPUID leaf, the
code will try to find the closest match instead of simply confessing
it's failure.
The implementation was meant to satisfy the CPUID specification, but
did not properly check for extended and standard leaves and also
didn't account for the index subleaf.
Beside that this rule only applies to CPUID intercepts, which is not
the only user of the kvm_find_cpuid_entry() function.
So fix this algorithm and call it from kvm_emulate_cpuid().
This fixes a crash of newer Linux kernels as KVM guests on
AMD Bulldozer CPUs, where bogus values were returned in response to
a CPUID intercept.
