For some reason I'm not able to reproduce this crash with the reproducer and
commit given -- even after making sure I had set kvm_intel.nested=1 on the host
since the reproducer uses KVM.  And syzbot only hit this from Jan 1 through
Jan 3.  So I'll assume it was introduced and fixed by the x86 changes around
that time, and I'll invalidate the bug for syzbot; it will send a new report if
this crash happens again...
