Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
MIPS: KVM: Fix NULL pointer dereference
After commit 45c7e8af4a5e3f0bea4ac209 ("MIPS: Remove KVM_TE support") we
get a NULL pointer dereference when creating a KVM guest:

The root cause is the deletion of kvm_mips_commpage_init() leaves vcpu
->arch.cop0 NULL. So fix it by making cop0 from a pointer to an embedded
object.
