[ upstream commit c7dfa4009965a9b2d7b329ee970eb8da0d32f0bc ]
If L1 disables VMLOAD/VMSAVE intercepts, and doesn't enable
Virtual VMLOAD/VMSAVE (currently not supported for the nested hypervisor),
then VMLOAD/VMSAVE must operate on the L1 physical memory, which is only
possible by making L0 intercept these instructions.
Failure to do so allowed the nested guest to run VMLOAD/VMSAVE unintercepted,
and thus read/write portions of the host physical memory.
Fixes: 89c8a4984fc9 ("KVM: SVM: Enable Virtual VMLOAD VMSAVE feature")

5.4, 5.10, and 5.13 versions now queued up and I'll do a new -rc release
with them in it. I'll get to the others after dinner...
thanks,
