If KVM (L0) intercepts #GP, but L1 does not, then L2 can kill L1 by
triggering triple fault.  On both VMX and SVM, if the CPU hits a fault
while vectoring an injected #DF (or I supposed any #DF), any intercept
from the hypervisor takes priority over triple fault.  #PF is unlikely to
be intercepted by L0 but not L1.  The bigger problem is #GP, which is
intercepted on both VMX and SVM if enable_vmware_backdoor=1, and is also
now intercepted for the lovely VMRUN/VMLOAD/VMSAVE errata.

Based on kvm/queue, commit fe5f0041c026 ("KVM/SVM: Move vmenter.S exception
fixups out of line").  x86.c and svm/nested.c conflict with kvm/master.
They are minor and straighforward, but let me know if you want me to post
a version based on kvm/master for easier inclusion into 5.12.
