Hmm, commit efebf0aaec3d it only changed flushing behavior, it didn't
affect KVM's behavior with respect to refreshing unsync'd SPTE, i.e.
reloading guest_mmu.

It's somewhat of a moot point, because _technically_ there is no bug since,
at the time of this fix, KVM always flushes and reloads on nested VM-Enter.
