Subject: [PATCH RESEND] KVM: nVMX: mask unrestricted_guest if disabled on L0

If EPT was enabled, unrestricted_guest was allowed in L1 regardless of
L0.  L1 triple faulted when running L2 guest that required emulation.

Another side effect was 'WARN_ON_ONCE(vmx->nested.nested_run_pending)'
in L0's dmesg:
  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c:9190 nested_vmx_vmexit+0x96e/0xb00 [kvm_intel] ()

Prevent this scenario by masking SECONDARY_EXEC_UNRESTRICTED_GUEST when
the host doesn't have it enabled.

Fixes: 78051e3b7e35 ("KVM: nVMX: Disable unrestricted mode if ept=0")
