The two most suspicious patches since 4.13 (which I assume works) are

  664f8e26b00c ("KVM: X86: Fix loss of exception which has not yet been
  injected")

and

  9a6e7c39810e ("KVM: async_pf: Fix #DF due to inject "Page not Present"
  and "Page Ready" exceptions simultaneously")

please try reverting them to see if it helps,

thanks.
