Reload known good vCPU state if the vCPU triple faults in any of the
race_sync_regs() subtests, e.g. if KVM successfully injects an exception
(the vCPU isn't configured to handle exceptions). On Intel, the VMCS
is preserved even after shutdown, but AMD's APM states that the VMCB is
undefined after a shutdown and so KVM synthesizes an INIT to sanitize
vCPU/VMCB state, e.g. to guard against running with a garbage VMCB.
The synthetic INIT results in the vCPU never exiting to userspace, as it
gets put into Real Mode at the reset vector, which is full of zeros (as is
GPA 0 and beyond), and so executes ADD for a very, very long time.
