Fixing nested_vmcb_check_save to avoid all TOC/TOU races
is a bit harder in released kernels, so do the bare minimum
by avoiding that EFER.SVME is cleared. This is problematic
because svm_set_efer frees the data structures for nested
virtualization if EFER.SVME is cleared.
Also check that EFER.SVME remains set after a nested vmexit;
clearing it could happen if the bit is zero in the save area
that is passed to KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE (the save area of the
nested state corresponds to the nested hypervisor's state
and is restored on the next nested vmexit).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
