Paolo Bonzini 67055806be KVM: nVMX: do not use dangling shadow VMCS after guest reset
commit 88dddc11a8d6b09201b4db9d255b3394d9bc9e57 upstream.

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.

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
