That's handled by code that's just out of sight in this diff. The first check in
nested_vmx_transition_tlb_flush() is to see if vmcs12 has VPID enabled. If the
code in this patch is reached, vmcs12->virtual_processor_id is guaranteed to be
non-zero as VM-Enter fails if VPID is enabled but VPID==0.
static void nested_vmx_transition_tlb_flush(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu,
struct vmcs12 *vmcs12,
bool is_vmenter)
{
struct vcpu_vmx *vmx = to_vmx(vcpu);
/*
* If vmcs12 doesn't use VPID, L1 expects linear and combined mappings
* for *all* contexts to be flushed on VM-Enter/VM-Exit, i.e. it's a
* full TLB flush from the guest's perspective. This is required even
* if VPID is disabled in the host as KVM may need to synchronize the
* MMU in response to the guest TLB flush.
*
* Note, using TLB_FLUSH_GUEST is correct even if nested EPT is in use.
* EPT is a special snowflake, as guest-physical mappings aren't
* flushed on VPID invalidations, including VM-Enter or VM-Exit with
* VPID disabled. As a result, KVM _never_ needs to sync nEPT
* entries on VM-Enter because L1 can't rely on VM-Enter to flush
* those mappings.

if (!nested_cpu_has_vpid(vmcs12)) {
kvm_make_request(KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH_GUEST, vcpu);
