KVM: x86: reset pdptrs_from_userspace when exiting smm
[ Upstream commit 37687c403a641f251cb2ef2e7830b88aa0647ba9 ]
When exiting SMM, pdpts are loaded again from the guest memory.
This fixes a theoretical bug, when exit from SMM triggers entry to the
nested guest which re-uses some of the migration
code which uses this flag as a workaround for a legacy userspace.
