[PATCH] KVM: VMX: enable nested virtualization by default

[Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>]

With live migration support and finally a good solution for CR2/DR6
exception payloads, nested VMX should finally be ready for having a stable
userspace ABI.  The results of syzkaller fuzzing are not perfect but not
horrible either (and might be partially due to running on GCE, so that
effectively we're testing three-level nesting on a fork of upstream KVM!).
Enabling it by default seems like a nice way to conclude the 4.20
pull request. :)

Unfortunately, enabling nested SVM in 2009 was a bit premature.  However,
until live migration support is in place we can reasonably expect that
it does not offer much in terms of ABI guarantees.  Therefore we are
still in time to break things and conform as much as possible to the
interface used for VMX.
