In theory, L1 can try to disable enlightened VMENTRY in VP assist page and try to issue VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME. While nested_vmx_handle_enlightened_vmptrld() properly handles this as 'EVMPTRLD_DISABLED', previously mapped eVMCS remains mapped and thus all evmptr_is_valid() checks will still pass and nested_vmx_run() will proceed when it shouldn't. Release eVMCS immediately when we detect that enlightened vmentry was disabled by L1.
