I wonder why this patch is needed. X86EMUL_PROPAGATE_FAULT causes
ctxt->have_exception to be set to true in x86_emulate_insn().
x86_emulate_instruction() checks ctxt->have_exception and calls
inject_emulated_exception() if it is true. inject_emulated_exception()
calls kvm_propagate_fault() where we check if the fault was nested and
generate vmexit or a page fault accordingly.
