In this patch we add a list of L0 (hardware) VMCSs, which we'll use to hold a
hardware VMCS for each active vmcs12 (i.e., for each L2 guest).

We call each of these L0 VMCSs a "vmcs02", as it is the VMCS that L0 uses
to run its nested guest L2.

I asked for this to be fixed (say by freeing one vmcs02 from the list). The guest can easily crash by running a lot of nested guests.

Actually you don't have to free it, simply reuse it for the new vmcs12.
