__cpu_emergency_vmxoff() internally checks whether VMX is enabled in CR4.  
Logically, looks it's more reasonable to do such check before VMCLEAR active
VMCSes, although in practice there should be no problem I think.

But this problem inherits from the existing code in  upstream, so not sure
whether it is worth fixing.
