This needs to be conditioned on CET coming from vmcs12, it's on the loading of
host state on VM-Exit that is unconditional (if CET is supported).

	if (kvm_cet_supported() && vmx->nested.nested_run_pending &&
	    (vmcs12->vm_entry_controls & VM_ENTRY_LOAD_CET_STATE)) {

I also assume these should be guarded by one of the eVMCS fields, though a quick
search of the public docs didn't provide a hit on the CET fields.

Vitaly, any idea if these will be GUEST_GRP2 or something else?
