Per the APM, "Canonicalization and Consistency Checks,"
[t]he following conditions are considered illegal state combinations:
- CR4.CET=1 when CR0.WP=0
- Any reserved bit set in S_CET
- CR4.CET=1 and U_CET.SS=1 when EFLAGS.VM=1
Check these conditions in software before trying to VMRUN vmcb02, so that
the illegal states result in a #VMEXIT to L1 rather than an exit to
userspace with KVM_EXIT_FAIL_ENTRY.
Fixes: c5ba49458513 ("KVM: nSVM: Save/load CET Shadow Stack state to/from vmcb12/vmcb02")
