CVE Request -- qemu: missing field list terminator in vmstate_xhci_event

[Petr Matousek <pmatouse () redhat com>]

It was found that vmstate_xhci_event field list was missing
VMSTATE_END_OF_LIST() terminator and traversing through this list
would result in out-of-bounds access during vm state saving and
loading.

Depending on how vmstate_xhci_event is placed in the qemu binary,
this issue can range from non-issue, infinite loop to (potentially)
privilege escalation in case the we end up with fields that have info
and/or field_exist members initialized in a way that is useful for
exploitation (most probably unlikely).

In the worst case, attacker able to alter the migration data could
use this flaw to to corrupt QEMU process memory.
