[PATCH 3.13.y-ckt 058/121] KVM: x86: Fix uninitialized op->type for some immediate values

3.13.11-ckt12 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Nadav Amit <namit at cs.technion.ac.il>

commit d29b9d7ed76c0b961603ca692b8a562556a20212 upstream.

The emulator could reuse an op->type from a previous instruction for some
immediate values.  If it mistakenly considers the operands as memory
operands, it will performs a memory read and overwrite op->val.

Consider for instance the ROR instruction - src2 (the number of times)
would be read from memory instead of being used as immediate.

Mark every immediate operand as such to avoid this problem.
