[PATCH] kvm: nVMX: Enforce cpl=0 for VMX instructions

From: Felix Wilhelm <fwilhelm at google.com>
VMX instructions executed inside a L1 VM will always trigger a VM exit
even when executed with cpl 3. This means we must perform the
privilege check in software.
Fixes: 70f3aac964ae("kvm: nVMX: Remove superfluous VMX instruction fault checks")
