nested_get_evmcs_page() will get called twice in the common case of
is_guest_mode() == true.  I can't tell if that will ever be fatal, but it's
definitely weird.  Maybe this?

	if (!is_guest_mode(vcpu))
		return nested_get_evmcs_page(vcpu);

	return nested_get_vmcs12_pages(vcpu);
I wouldn't say there is a common case; however the idea was to remove 
the call to nested_get_evmcs_page from nested_get_vmcs12_pages, since 
that one is only needed after KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE and not during 
VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME.
