mainlining shenanigans

When an EVMCS enabled L1 guest on KVM will tries doing enlightened VMEnter with EVMCS GPA = 0 the host crashes because the evmcs_gpa != vmx->nested.hv_evmcs_vmptr condition in nested_vmx_handle_enlightened_vmptrld() will evaluate to false (as nested.hv_evmcs_vmptr is zeroed after init). The crash will happen on vmx->nested.hv_evmcs pointer dereference. Another problematic EVMCS ptr value is '-1' but it only causes host crash after nested_release_evmcs() invocation. The problem is exactly the same as with '0', we mistakenly think that the EVMCS pointer hasn't changed and thus nested.hv_evmcs_vmptr is valid. Resolve the issue by adding an additional !vmx->nested.hv_evmcs check to nested_vmx_handle_enlightened_vmptrld(), this way we will always be trying kvm_vcpu_map() when nested.hv_evmcs is NULL and this is supposed to catch all invalid EVMCS GPAs. Also, initialize hv_evmcs_vmptr to '0' in nested_release_evmcs() to be consistent with initialization where we don't currently set hv_evmcs_vmptr to '-1'.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
