[PATCH 1/2] KVM: nVMX: Reset MMU back to the root MMU if loading L2 state fails for !VM-Entry

[Paolo Bonzini]

From: Amirmohammad Eftekhar <amirmohammadeftekhar@xxxxxxxxx>

Reset the vCPU's MMU pointer back to the root MMU if loading L2 state fails
in the "not from VM-Entry" case, i.e. when emulating RSM or handling
KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE.  Failure to unwind the MMU pointer results in KVM
trying to run L1 with a nested MMU, and is especially problematic if the
vCPU manages to free its nested state before the VM crashes.  Constructing
the root for a nested EPT MMU goes through vmcs12, which is dynamically
allocated/freed when nVMX is enabled/disabled.  And so if the nested state
is freed with the MMU still pointing at the nested MMU, KVM will hit a NULL
pointer deref when attempting to get L1=>L2 EPTP.
