It is possible that when non root mode is entered via special entry
(!from_vmentry), that is from SMM or from loading the nested state,
the L2 state could be invalid in regard to non unrestricted guest mode,
but later it can become valid.

(for example when RSM emulation restores segment registers from SMRAM)

Thus delay the check to VM entry, where we will check this and fail.

And then do what?  Won't invalidate state send KVM into handle_invalid_guest_state(),
which we very much don't want to do for L2?  E.g. this is meant to fire, but won't
because nested_run_pending is false for the !from_vmentry paths.

	/*
	 * We should never reach this point with a pending nested VM-Enter, and
	 * more specifically emulation of L2 due to invalid guest state (see
	 * below) should never happen as that means we incorrectly allowed a
	 * nested VM-Enter with an invalid vmcs12.
	 */
	if (KVM_BUG_ON(vmx->nested.nested_run_pending, vcpu->kvm))
		return -EIO;

This is contradictory and wrong.  (a) it's impossible to have both a VM-Fail and
VM-Exit, (b) vmcs.EXIT_REASON is not modified on VM-Fail, and (c) emulation_required
refers to guest state and guest state checks are always VM-Exits, not VM-Fails.

I don't understand this change, AFAICT vmx->fail won't actually be consumed as
either the above KVM_BUG_ON() will be hit or KVM will incorrectly emulate L2
state.
