Drop a BUG_ON() that has been reachable since it was first added, way back
in 2009.
For a given store, KVM tracks the entire value in the destination operand,
x86_emulate_ctxt.dst. If the destination is memory, and the target splits
multiple pages and/or is emulated MMIO, then KVM handles each fragment
independently. E.g. on a page split starting at page offset 0xffc, KVM
writes 4 bytes to the first page, then the remaining bytes to the second
page, using ctxt->dst as the source for both (with appropriate offsets).
If the destination splits a page *and* hits emulated MMIO on the second
page, then KVM will complete the write to the first page, then emulate the
MMIO access to the second page. If there is a datamatch-enabled ioeventfd
at offset 0 of the second page, then KVM will process the remainder of the
store as a potential ioeventfd signal.
Putting it all together, if the guest emits a store that splits a page
starting at page offset N, and the second page has a datamatch-enabled
ioeventfd at offset 0, then KVM will check for datamatch using
&dst.valptr[N] as the source. Due to dst (and thus dst.valptr) being
32-byte aligned, if N is not aligned to @len, the BUG_ON() fires.
E.g. with a 16-byte store at page offset 0xffc, to an ioeventfd of len 8,
all initial checks in ioeventfd_in_range() will succeed, and the BUG_ON()
fires due to @val being 4-byte aligned, but not 8-byte aligned.

Simply delete the BUG_ON(), as KVM x86 doesn't perform alignment checks on
"normal" memory accesses at CPL0, i.e. the BUG_ON() doesn't actually guard
against any badness (presumably it was a sanity check).
