Reject KVM_SET_SREGS{2} with -EINVAL if the incoming CR0 is invalid,
e.g. due to setting bits 63:32, illegal combinations, or to a value that
isn't allowed in VMX (non-)root mode. The VMX checks in particular are
"fun" as failure to disallow Real Mode for an L2 that is configured with
unrestricted guest disabled, when KVM itself has unrestricted guest
enabled, will result in KVM forcing VM86 mode to virtual Real Mode for
L2, but then fail to unwind the related metadata when synthesizing a
nested VM-Exit back to L1 (which has unrestricted guest enabled).
Opportunistically fix a benign typo in the prototype for is_valid_cr4().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
