Subject: [PATCH v2] KVM: nVMX: Fix nested bus lock VM exit

Nested bus lock VM exits are not supported yet. If L2 triggers bus lock
VM exit, it will be directed to L1 VMM, which would cause unexpected
behavior. Therefore, handle L2's bus lock VM exits in L0 directly.

Fixes: fe6b6bc802b4 ("KVM: VMX: Enable bus lock VM exit")
Signed-off-by: Chenyi Qiang <chenyi.qiang@...el.com>

Change log
v1->v2
- Because nested bus lock VM exit is not supported and how nested
  support would operate is uncertain. Add a brief comment to state that this
  feature is never exposed to L1 at present. (Sean)
- v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210827085110.6763-1-chenyi.qiang@intel.com/
