Subject: [PATCH 11/35] KVM: detect if VCPU triple faults

From: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@....com>

In the current inject_page_fault path KVM only checks if there is another PF
pending and injects a DF then. But it has to check for a pending DF too to
detect a shutdown condition in the VCPU.  If this is not detected the VCPU goes
to a PF -> DF -> PF loop when it should triple fault. This patch detects this
condition and handles it with an KVM_SHUTDOWN exit to userspace.
