Changes since v2:
- 'KVM: nVMX: Use '-1' in 'hv_evmcs_vmptr' to indicate that eVMCS is not in
 use'/ 'KVM: nVMX: Introduce 'EVMPTR_MAP_PENDING' post-migration state'
 patches instead of 'KVM: nVMX: Introduce nested_evmcs_is_used()' [Paolo]
- 'KVM: nVMX: Don't set 'dirty_vmcs12' flag on enlightened VMPTRLD' patch
 added [Max]
- 'KVM: nVMX: Release eVMCS when enlightened VMENTRY was disabled' patch
  added.
- 'KVM: nVMX: Make copy_vmcs12_to_enlightened()/copy_enlightened_to_vmcs12()
 return 'void'' patch added [Paolo]
- R-b tags added [Max]

Original description:

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 3333 (thanks, Max!) migrations without
crashing in testing.

Patches are based on the current kvm/next tree.
