Fail VM entry if GUEST_ACTIVITY_HLT is unsupported. According to "SDM A.6 -
Miscellaneous Data", VM entry should fail if the HLT activity is not marked as
supported on IA32_VMX_MISC MSR.

Usermode might disable GUEST_ACTIVITY_HLT support in the vCPU with
vmx_restore_vmx_misc(). Before this commit VM entries would have succeeded
anyway.

Is there a use case for disabling GUEST_ACTIVITY_HLT?  Or can we simply
disallow writes to IA32_VMX_MISC that disable GUEST_ACTIVITY_HLT?

To disable GUEST_ACTIVITY_HLT, userspace also has to make
CPU_BASED_HLT_EXITING a "must be 1" control, otherwise KVM will be
presenting a bogus model to L1.

The bad model is visible to L1 if CPU_BASED_HLT_EXITING is set by L0,
i.e. KVM is running without kvm_hlt_in_guest(), and cleared by L1.  In
that case, a HLT from L2 will be handled in L0.  L0 will set the state to
KVM_MP_STATE_HALTED and report to L1 (on a nested VM-Exit, e.g. INTR),
that the activity state is GUEST_ACTIVITY_HLT, which from L1's perspective
doesn't exist.

I don't have a specific case for disabling it. Disallowing turning it off in IA32_VMX_MISC
is also possible. Because of what you said below I will submit a different patch that does
so.
