3.16.35-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

commit 2849eb4f99d54925c543db12917127f88b3c38ff upstream.

A guest executing an invalid invept instruction would hang
because the instruction pointer was not updated.
