From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Commit 4f350c6dbcb (kvm: nVMX: Handle deferred early VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME failure
properly) can result in L1(run kvm-unit-tests/run_tests.sh vmx_controls in L1)
null pointer deference and also L0 calltrace when EPT=0 on both L0 and L1.

In L1:

The commit avoids to load host state of vmcs12 as vmcs01's guest state
since vmcs12 is not modified (except for the VM-instruction error field)
if the checking of vmcs control area fails. However, the mmu context is
switched to nested mmu in prepare_vmcs02() and it will not be reloaded
since load_vmcs12_host_state() is skipped when nested VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME
fails. This patch fixes it by reloading mmu context when nested
VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME fails.
