Subject: [PATCH 08/11] KVM: SVM: Activate nested state only when guest state is complete

Certain functions called during the emulated world switch
behave differently when the vcpu is running nested. This is
not the expected behavior during a world switch emulation.
This patch ensures that the nested state is activated only
if the vcpu is completly in nested state.
