An uninitialized gfn_to_hva_cache has ghc->len == 0, which causes the accessors to croak very loudly. While a BUG_ON is definitely _too_ loud and a bug on its own, there is indeed an issue of using the caches in such a way that they could not have been initialized, because ghc->gpa == 0 might match and thus kvm_gfn_to_hva_cache_init would not be called. For the vmcs12_cache, the solution is simply to invoke kvm_gfn_to_hva_cache_init unconditionally: we already know that the cache does not match the current VMCS pointer. For the shadow_vmcs12_cache, there is no similar condition that checks the VMCS link pointer, so invalidate the cache on VMXON.
