For nested virt we maintain multiple VMCS that can run on a vCPU. So it is
incorrect to keep vmcs_host_cr3 and vmcs_host_cr4, whose purpose is caching
the value of the rarely changing HOST_CR3 and HOST_CR4 VMCS fields, in
vCPU-wide data structures.
Hyper-V nested on KVM runs into this consistently for me with PCID enabled.
CR3 is updated with a new value, unlikely(cr3 != vmx->host_state.vmcs_host_cr3)
fires, and the currently loaded VMCS is updated. Then we switch from L2 to
L1 and the next exit reverts CR3 to its old value.
Fixes: d6e41f1151fe ("x86/mm, KVM: Teach KVM's VMX code that CR3 isn't a constant")
