Subject: [PATCH v3 05/27] KVM: VMX: Disable FRED if FRED consistency checks fail

From: Xin Li <xin3.li@...el.com>

Do not virtualize FRED if FRED consistency checks fail.

Either on broken hardware, or when run KVM on top of another hypervisor
before the underlying hypervisor implements nested FRED correctly.
