mainlining shenanigans

Currently code in svm_set_nested_state copies the current vmcb control area to L1 control area (hsave->control), under assumption that it mostly reflects the defaults that kvm choose, and later qemu overrides these defaults with L2 state using standard KVM interfaces, like KVM_SET_REGS. However nested GIF (which is AMD specific thing) is by default is true, and it is copied to hsave area as such. This alone is not a big deal since on VMexit, GIF is always set to false, regardless of what it was on VM entry. However in nested_svm_vmexit we were first were setting GIF to false, but then we overwrite the control fields with value from the hsave area. (including the nested GIF field itself if GIF virtualization is enabled). Now on normal vm entry this is not a problem, since GIF is usually false prior to normal vm entry, and this is the value that copied to hsave, and then restored, but this is not always the case when the nested state is loaded as explained above. To fix this issue, move svm_set_gif after we restore the L1 control state in nested_svm_vmexit, so that even with wrong GIF in the saved L1 control area, we still clear GIF as the spec says.

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.
