[PATCH v4 09/24] KVM: nVMX: Unconditionally clear mtf_pending on nested VM-Exit

[Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>]

Clear mtf_pending on nested VM-Exit instead of handling the clear on a
case-by-case basis in vmx_check_nested_events().  The pending MTF should
never survive nested VM-Exit, as it is a property of KVM's run of the
current L2, i.e. should never affect the next L2 run by L1.  In practice,
this is likely a nop as getting to L1 with nested_run_pending is
impossible, and KVM doesn't correctly handle morphing a pending exception
that occurs on a prior injected exception (need for re-injected exception
being the other case where MTF isn't cleared).  However, KVM will
hopefully soon correctly deal with a pending exception on top of an
injected exception.

Add a TODO to document that KVM has an inversion priority bug between
SMIs and MTF (and trap-like #DBS), and that KVM also doesn't properly
save/restore MTF across SMI/RSM.
