I would expect vmx_capability.ept to already be 0 here. Otherwise, L0
is reporting inconsistent VMX capabilities.

I would expect vmx_capability.vpid to already be 0 here. Otherwise, L0
is reporting inconsistent VMX capabilities.

We already have the following code in nested_vmx_setup_ctls_msrs:
if (enable_ept) {
...
} else
vmx->nested.nested_vmx_ept_caps = 0;
and
if (enable_vpid) {
...
} else
vmx->nested.nested_vmx_vpid_caps = 0;
