Subject: [PATCH] KVM: nVMX: Fix CR4 after VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME failure

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@...cent.com>

In L0, Haswell client host:

 nested_vmx_exit_reflected failed vm entry 7

This can be reproduced by running kvm-unit-tests/run_tests.sh vmx_controls in 
L1. UMIP CPUID bit is exposed to the L1 UMIP aware guest since it is emulated 
by enabling descriptor-table exits on L0. There is a vmentry fail when 
L0 tries to run L2 directly, the L1 guest architectural CR4 is not restored 
after this failure since commit 4f350c6dbcb (kvm: nVMX: Handle deferred early 
VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME failure properly). The L2 is kvm-unit-tests which will not 
write CR4 w/ X86_CR4_UMIP bit. After another L1 access descriptor vmexit, we 
check L2's architectural CR4 instead of L1's architectural CR4. This patch 
fixes it by restoring L1's architectural CR4 after L0's VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME 
failure.
