Subject: [PATCH 4.19 044/361] x86/kvm/nVMX: allow bare VMXON state migration

4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@...hat.com>

commit a1b0c1c64dfef0cff8555bb708bfc5d7c66c6ca4 upstream.

It is perfectly valid for a guest to do VMXON and not do VMPTRLD. This
state needs to be preserved on migration.
