When vmx_set_nested_state() happens, we may not have all the required
data to map enlightened VMCS: e.g. HV_X64_MSR_VP_ASSIST_PAGE MSR may not
yet be restored so we need a postponed action. Currently, we (ab)use
need_vmcs12_to_shadow_sync/nested_sync_vmcs12_to_shadow() for that but
this is not ideal:
- We may not need to sync anything if L2 is running
- It is hard to propagate errors from nested_sync_vmcs12_to_shadow()
as we call it from vmx_prepare_switch_to_guest() which happens just
before we do VMLAUNCH, the code is not ready to handle errors there.
Move eVMCS mapping to nested_get_vmcs12_pages() and request
KVM_REQ_GET_VMCS12_PAGES, it seems to be is less abusive in nature.
It would probably be possible to introduce a specialized KVM_REQ_EVMCS_MAP
but it is undesirable to propagate eVMCS specifics all the way up to x86.c
Note, we don't need to request KVM_REQ_GET_VMCS12_PAGES from
vmx_set_nested_state() directly as nested_vmx_enter_non_root_mode() already
does that. Requesting KVM_REQ_GET_VMCS12_PAGES is done to document the
(non-obvious) side-effect and to be future proof.
