Don't you want this the other way around? That is first do the disable_intercept
and then add the 'if (is_guest_mode(vcpu))' ? Otherwise the very first
MSR write from the guest is going to hit condition above and never end
up executing the disabling of the intercept?

is_guest_mode is checking if this is an L2 guest. I *should not* do
disable_intercept on the L1 guest bitmap if it is an L2 guest that is
why this check happens before disable_intercept.

For the short-circuited L2 path, nested_vmx_merge_msr_bitmap will
properly update the L02 MSR bitmap and use it.

So the checks are fine AFAICT.
