This is still wrong, even though no additional supported is needed to support
nested XFD. If L1 wants to intercept #NM, then KVM must not inject the #NM and
must not read XFD_ERR.

That this was posted multiple times is disturbing, because kvm-unit-tests has a
test for exactly this, and running it against this series on a host without XFD
yields:

unchecked MSR access error: RDMSR from 0x1c5 at rIP: 0xffffffffa02478ee (vmx_handle_exit_irqoff+0x1de/0x240 [kvm_intel])
