Commit f5c7e8425f18 ("KVM: nVMX: Always make an attempt to map eVMCS after
migration") fixed the most obvious reason why Hyper-V on KVM (e.g. Win10
 + WSL2) was crashing immediately after migration. It was also reported
that we have more issues to fix as, while the failure rate was lowered 
signifincatly, it was still possible to observe crashes after several
dozens of migration. Turns out, the issue arises when we manage to issue
KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE right after L2->L2 VMEXIT but before L1 gets a chance
to run. This state is tracked with 'need_vmcs12_to_shadow_sync' flag but
the flag itself is not part of saved nested state. A few other less 
significant issues are fixed along the way.

While there's no proof this series fixes all eVMCS related problems,
Win10+WSL2 was able to survive 500 migrations without crashing in my
testing.

Patches are based on the current kvm/next tree.

  KVM: nVMX: Release enlightened VMCS on VMCLEAR
  KVM: nVMX: Ignore 'hv_clean_fields' data when eVMCS data is copied in
    vmx_get_nested_state()
  KVM: nVMX: Force enlightened VMCS sync from nested_vmx_failValid()
  KVM: nVMX: Reset eVMCS clean fields data from prepare_vmcs02()
  KVM: nVMX: Request to sync eVMCS from VMCS12 after migration
  KVM: selftests: evmcs_test: Test that KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS is never
    lost
