[ Upstream commit 08d839c4b134b8328ec42f2157a9ca4b93227c03 ]
This can be reproduced by running L2 on L1, and disable VPID on L0 if w/o commit "KVM: nVMX: Fix nested VPID vmx exec control", the L2 crash as below:

Reference SDM 30.3 INVVPID:
Protected Mode Exceptions - #UD - If not in VMX operation. - If the logical processor does not support VPIDs (IA32_VMX_PROCBASED_CTLS2[37]=0). - If the logical processor supports VPIDs (IA32_VMX_PROCBASED_CTLS2[37]=1) but does not support the INVVPID instruction (IA32_VMX_EPT_VPID_CAP[32]=0).
So we should check both VPID enable bit in vmx exec control and INVVPID support bit in vmx capability MSRs to enable VPID. This patch adds the guarantee to not enable VPID if either INVVPID or single-context/all-context invalidation is not exposed in vmx capability MSRs.
