KVM: nVMX: Unconditionally uninit the MMU on nested vmexit
Three reasons for doing this: 1. arch.walk_mmu points to arch.mmu anyway in case nested EPT wasn't in use. 2. this aligns VMX with SVM. But 3. is most important: nested_cpu_has_ept(vmcs12) queries the VMCS page, and if one guest VCPU manipulates the page of another VCPU in L2, we may be fooled to skip over the nested_ept_uninit_mmu_context, leaving mmu in nested state. That can crash the host later on if nested_ept_get_cr3 is invoked while L1 already left vmxon and nested.current_vmcs12 became NULL therefore.
