Hi,
__nested_free_saved_vmcs is designed to be called only on the when
saved_vmcs->cpu is equal to the current CPU. E.g., it is called as:
if (saved_vmcs->cpu != -1)
smp_call_function_single(saved_vmcs->cpu,
__nested_free_saved_vmcs, saved_vmcs, 1);
So the current code should be just as correct.
The similar __vcpu_clear has an obscure case where (vmx->vcpu.cpu != cpu),
but in this new function, there isn't.
