    KVM: nVMX: do not use dangling shadow VMCS after guest reset · 88dddc11

    If a KVM guest is reset while running a nested guest, free_nested will
    disable the shadow VMCS execution control in the vmcs01.  However,
    on the next KVM_RUN vmx_vcpu_run would nevertheless try to sync
    the VMCS12 to the shadow VMCS which has since been freed.
    
    This causes a vmptrld of a NULL pointer on my machime, but Jan reports
    the host to hang altogether.  Let's see how much this trivial patch fixes.
