The syzkaller testcase will execute VMXON/VMLAUCH instructions, so the 
vmx->nested stuff is populated, it will also issue KVM_SMI ioctl. However, 
the testcase is just a simple c program and not be lauched by something 
like seabios which implements smi_handler. Commit 05cade71cf (KVM: nSVM: 
fix SMI injection in guest mode) gets out of guest mode and set nested.vmxon 
to false for the duration of SMM according to SDM 34.14.1 "leave VMX 
operation" upon entering SMM. We can't alloc/free the vmx->nested stuff 
each time when entering/exiting SMM since it will induce more overhead. So 
the function vmx_pre_enter_smm() marks nested.vmxon false even if vmx->nested 
stuff is still populated. What it expected is em_rsm() can mark nested.vmxon 
to be true again. However, the smi_handler/rsm will not execute since there 
is no something like seabios in this scenario. The function free_nested() 
fails to free the vmx->nested stuff since the vmx->nested.vmxon is false 
which results in the above warning.

This patch fixes it by also considering the no SMI handler case, luckily 
vmx->nested.smm.vmxon is marked according to the value of vmx->nested.vmxon 
in vmx_pre_enter_smm(), we can take advantage of it and free vmx->nested 
stuff when L1 goes down.
