commit 63cb6d5f004ca44f9b8e562b6dd191f717a4960e upstream.
This can be reproduced by running kvm-unit-tests/vmx.flat on L0 w/ vpid disabled.
Test suite: VPID

We should hide and forbid VPID in L1 if it is disabled on L0. However, nested VPID
enable bit is set unconditionally during setup nested vmx exec controls though VPID
is not exposed through nested VMX capablity. This patch fixes it by don't set nested
VPID enable bit if it is disabled on L0.
