KVM: nVMX: Always reflect #NM VM-exits to L1

Browse source

When bit 3 (corresponding to CR0.TS) of the VMCS12 cr0_guest_host_mask
field is clear, the VMCS12 guest_cr0 field does not necessarily hold
the current value of the L2 CR0.TS bit, so the code that checked for
L2's CR0.TS bit being set was incorrect. Moreover, I'm not sure that
the CR0.TS check was adequate. (What if L2's CR0.EM was set, for
instance?)

Fortunately, lazy FPU has gone away, so L0 has lost all interest in
intercepting #NM exceptions. See commit bd7e5b0899 ("KVM: x86:
remove code for lazy FPU handling"). Therefore, there is no longer any
question of which hypervisor gets first dibs. The #NM VM-exit should
always be reflected to L1. (Note that the corresponding bit must be
set in the VMCS12 exception_bitmap field for there to be an #NM
VM-exit at all.)
