Good point, this must be squashed in:

diff --git a/arch/x86/kvm/vmx/nested.c b/arch/x86/kvm/vmx/nested.c
index ab135f9ef52f..a703b71d675d 100644
--- a/arch/x86/kvm/vmx/nested.c
+++ b/arch/x86/kvm/vmx/nested.c
@@ -6481,6 +6481,8 @@ static int vmx_set_nested_state(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu,
if (ret)
goto error_guest_mode;

+ if (vmx->nested.mtf_pending)
+ kvm_make_request(KVM_REQ_EVENT, vcpu);
return 0;

error_guest_mode:
so that the other side restores the request.
