Let's put it in the commit message:

This makes it a bit easier to read the KVM trace, and avoids
other potential problems due to a stale vmexit reason in the vmcb.  If
SVM_EXIT_SW somehow reaches svm_invoke_exit_handler(), instead, 
svm_check_exit_valid() will return false and a WARN will be logged.
