WARN if KVM attempts to switch to the currently loaded VMCS. Now that nested_vmx_free_vcpu() doesn't blindly call vmx_switch_vmcs(), all paths that lead to vmx_switch_vmcs() are implicitly guarded by guest vs. host mode, e.g. KVM should never emulate VMX instructions when guest mode is active, and nested_vmx_vmexit() should never be called when host mode is active.
