evmcs_field_offset() bounds-checks the guest-supplied field index against
nr_evmcs_1_fields and then indexes vmcs_field_to_evmcs_1[] with it, but,
unlike its vmcs12 counterpart get_vmcs12_field_offset(), it does not clamp
the index with array_index_nospec() after the check.  The field index is
derived from a guest-supplied VMCS field encoding on the enlightened
VMREAD/VMWRITE path, so the array access can be performed speculatively
past the bounds check (Spectre v1), disclosing memory adjacent to
vmcs_field_to_evmcs_1[].

Clamp the index with array_index_nospec() immediately after the bounds
check, mirroring get_vmcs12_field_offset().

evmcs_field_offset() bounds-checks the guest-supplied field index against
nr_evmcs_1_fields and then indexes vmcs_field_to_evmcs_1[] without an
array_index_nospec() clamp, unlike its vmcs12 counterpart
get_vmcs12_field_offset().  An enlightened VMREAD/VMWRITE from the guest
can therefore speculatively read out of bounds of vmcs_field_to_evmcs_1[]
past the bound check (Spectre v1).

Clamp the index with array_index_nospec(), mirroring
get_vmcs12_field_offset().
