But if kvm_vcpu_reload_apic_access_page is called when the active VMCS
is a VMCS02, the APIC access address will be corrupted, no?

So, even if you are not touching the pages pinned by nested virt, you
need an

if (!is_guest_mode(vcpu) ||
!(vmx->nested.current_vmcs12->secondary_vm_exec_control &
SECONDARY_EXEC_VIRTUALIZE_APIC_ACCESSES))

as suggested by Gleb in the review of v5.
