Drat, I bet that MCE path means the WARN in nested_vmx_vmexit() can be triggered
by userspace. If so, this patch makes it really, really easy to hit, e.g. queue the
request while L2 is active, then do KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE to force an "exit" without
bouncing through kvm_check_nested_events().

WARN_ON_ONCE(kvm_check_request(KVM_REQ_TRIPLE_FAULT, vcpu))

I don't think SVM has a user-triggerable WARN, but the request should still be
dropped on forced exit from L2, e.g. I believe this is the correct fix:
