[ Upstream commit 2f707d97982286b307ef2a9b034e19aabc1abb56 ]

Reported by syzkaller:

The syzkaller folks reported a nested_run_pending warning during userspace clear VMX capability which is exposed to L1 before.

The warning gets thrown while doing

(*(uint32_t*)0x20aecfe8 = (uint32_t)0x1); (*(uint32_t*)0x20aecfec = (uint32_t)0x0); (*(uint32_t*)0x20aecff0 = (uint32_t)0x3a); (*(uint32_t*)0x20aecff4 = (uint32_t)0x0); (*(uint64_t*)0x20aecff8 = (uint64_t)0x0); r[29] = syscall(__NR_ioctl, r[4], 0x4008ae89ul, 0x20aecfe8ul, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);

i.e. KVM_SET_MSR ioctl with

struct kvm_msrs { .nmsrs = 1, .pad = 0, .entries = { {.index = MSR_IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL, .reserved = 0, .data = 0} } }

The VMLANCH/VMRESUME emulation should be stopped since the CPU is going to reset here. This patch resets the nested_run_pending since the CPU is going to be reset hence there should be nothing pending.
