[PATCH v4 2/2] KVM: nSVM: implement ondemand allocation of the nested state

From: Maxim Levitsky
Date: Thu Sep 17 2020 - 06:12:25 EST


This way we don't waste memory on VMs which don't use
nesting virtualization even if it is available to them.

If allocation of nested state fails (which should happen,
only when host is about to OOM anyway), use new KVM_REQ_OUT_OF_MEMORY
request to shut down the guest
