This was supposed to fix the buggy patch, too:

     commit a9f2705ec84449e3b8d70c804766f8e97e23080d
     Author: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@...ux.alibaba.com>

     KVM: VMX: Save HOST_CR3 in vmx_set_host_fs_gs()
     
     The host CR3 in the vcpu thread can only be changed when scheduling,
     so commit 15ad9762d69f ("KVM: VMX: Save HOST_CR3 in vmx_prepare_switch_to_guest()")
     changed vmx.c to only save it in vmx_prepare_switch_to_guest().
     
     However, it also has to be synced in vmx_sync_vmcs_host_state() when switching VMCS.
     vmx_set_host_fs_gs() is called in both places, so rename it to
     vmx_set_vmcs_host_state() and make it update HOST_CR3.
     
     Fixes: 15ad9762d69f ("KVM: VMX: Save HOST_CR3 in vmx_prepare_switch_to_guest()")
