No, nested_ept_inject_page_fault() will set
vmcs12->guest_linear_address after L0 walks L1's EPT page table and
finds that the mapping is invalid if nested EPT is enabled.
prepare_vmcs12() just copies the vmcs field that could have changed by
the L2 guest or the exit-information etc instead of all fields since
other fields are modified by L1 with VMWRITE, which already writes to
vmcs12 directly.
