[PATCH] KVM: nVMX: Track vmx emulation errors

[Fred Griffoul <griffoul@gmail.com>]

From: Fred Griffoul <fgriffo@amazon.co.uk>

Add a new kvm_stat vcpu counter called "nested_errors" to track the
number of errors returned to an L1 hypervisor when emulated VMX
instructions fail.

This counter should help monitor nVMX health and troubleshoot issues
with L1 hypervisors.
