KVM: nVMX: remove incorrect vpid check in nested invvpid emulation
This patch removes the vpid check when emulating nested invvpid
instruction of type all-contexts invalidation. The existing code is
incorrect because:
(1) According to Intel SDM Vol 3, Section "INVVPID - Invalidate
Translations Based on VPID", invvpid instruction does not check
vpid in the invvpid descriptor when its type is all-contexts
invalidation.
(2) According to the same document, invvpid of type all-contexts
invalidation does not require there is an active VMCS, so/and
get_vmcs12() in the existing code may result in a NULL-pointer
dereference. In practice, it can crash both KVM itself and L1
hypervisors that use invvpid (e.g. Xen).
