[ Upstream commit d6e656cd266cdcc95abd372c7faef05bee271d1a ]
WARN if KVM attempts to allocate a shadow VMCS for vmcs02. KVM emulates
VMCS shadowing but doesn't virtualize it, i.e. KVM should never allocate
a "real" shadow VMCS for L2.
The previous code WARNed but continued anyway with the allocation,
presumably in an attempt to avoid NULL pointer dereference.
However, alloc_vmcs (and hence alloc_shadow_vmcs) can fail, and
indeed the sole caller does:
if (enable_shadow_vmcs && !alloc_shadow_vmcs(vcpu))
goto out_shadow_vmcs;
which makes it not a useful attempt.
