[PATCH 1/1] kvm: nVMX: Checks "VMCS shadowing" with VMCS link pointer for non-root mode VM{READ,WRITE}

From: Yuan Yao

Add checking to VMCS12's "VMCS shadowing", make sure the checking of
VMCS12's vmcs_link_pointer for non-root mode VM{READ,WRITE} happens
only if VMCS12's "VMCS shadowing" is 1.

SDM says that for non-root mode the VMCS's "VMCS shadowing" must be 1
(and the corresponding bits in VMREAD/VMWRITE bitmap must be 0) when
condition checking of [B] is reached(please refer [A]), which means
checking to VMCS link pointer for non-root mode VM{READ,WRITE} should
happen only when "VMCS shadowing" = 1.

Description from SDM Vol3(April 2022) Chapter 30.3 VMREAD/VMWRITE:

IF (not in VMX operation)
or (CR0.PE = 0)
or (RFLAGS.VM = 1)
or (IA32_EFER.LMA = 1 and CS.L = 0)
THEN #UD;
ELSIF in VMX non-root operation
AND (“VMCS shadowing” is 0 OR
source operand sets bits in range 63:15 OR
VMREAD bit corresponding to bits 14:0 of source
operand is 1) <------[A]
THEN VMexit;
ELSIF CPL > 0
THEN #GP(0);
ELSIF (in VMX root operation AND current-VMCS pointer is not valid) OR
(in VMX non-root operation AND VMCS link pointer is not valid)
THEN VMfailInvalid; <------ [B]
...
