Subject: [PATCH v2] KVM: VMX: Fix invalid guest state detection after task-switch emulation

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@...mail.com>

This can be reproduced by EPT=1, unrestricted_guest=N, emulate_invalid_state=Y 
or EPT=0, the trace of kvm-unit-tests/taskswitch2.flat is like below, it tries 
to emulate invalid guest state task-switch:

kvm_exit: reason TASK_SWITCH rip 0x0 info 40000058 0
kvm_emulate_insn: 42000:0:0f 0b (0x2)
kvm_emulate_insn: 42000:0:0f 0b (0x2) failed
kvm_inj_exception: #UD (0x0)
kvm_entry: vcpu 0
kvm_exit: reason TASK_SWITCH rip 0x0 info 40000058 0
kvm_emulate_insn: 42000:0:0f 0b (0x2)
kvm_emulate_insn: 42000:0:0f 0b (0x2) failed
kvm_inj_exception: #UD (0x0)
......................

It appears that the task-switch emulation updates rflags (and vm86 
flag) only after the segments are loaded, causing vmx->emulation_required 
to be set, when in fact invalid guest state emulation is not needed.

This patch fixes it by updating vmx->emulation_required after the 
rflags (and vm86 flag) is updated in task-switch emulation.

Thanks Radim for moving the update to vmx__set_flags and adding Paolo's 
suggestion for the check.
