KVM: VMX: fix nested vpid for old KVM guests
Old KVM guests invoke single-context invvpid without actually checking whether it is supported. This was fixed by commit 518c8ae ("KVM: VMX: Make sure single type invvpid is supported before issuing invvpid instruction", 2010-08-01) and the patch after, but pre-2.6.36 kernels lack it including RHEL 6.
