This bug can be trigger by L1 goes down directly w/ enable_shadow_vmcs.

Commit 26a865 (KVM: VMX: fix use after free of vmx->loaded_vmcs) fix the use
after free bug by move free_loaded_vmcs() before free_nested(), however, this
lead to free loaded_vmcs->vmcs premature and vmptrld load a NULL pointer during
sync shadow vmcs to vmcs12. In addition, vmwrite which used to disable shadow
vmcs and reset VMCS_LINK_POINTER failed since there is no valid current-VMCS.
This patch fix it by skipping kfree vmcs02_list item for current-vmcs in
nested_free_all_saved_vmcss() and kfree it after free_loaded_vmcs(). This can
also avoid use after free bug.
