KVM: SVM: load control fields from VMCB12 before checking them
commit a58d9166a756a0f4a6618e4f593232593d6df134 upstream. Avoid races between check and use of the nested VMCB controls. This for example ensures that the VMRUN intercept is always reflected to the nested hypervisor, instead of being processed by the host. Without this patch, it is possible to end up with svm->nested.hsave pointing to the MSR permission bitmap for nested guests. This bug is CVE-2021-29657.
