This is triggered by running both win7 and win2016 on L1 KVM simultaneously,
and then gives stress to memory on L1, I can observed this hang on L1 when
at least ~70% swap area is occupied on L0.

This is due to async pf was injected to L2 which should be injected to L1,
L2 guest starts receiving pagefault w/ bogus %cr2(apf token from the host
actually), and L1 guest starts accumulating tasks stuck in D state in
kvm_async_pf_task_wait() since missing PAGE_READY async_pfs.

This patchset fixes it according to Radim's proposal "force a nested VM exit
from nested_vmx_check_exception if the injected #PF is async_pf and handle
the #PF VM exit in L1". https://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg142498.html

Note: The patchset almost not touch SVM since I don't have AMD CPU to verify
the modification.

Wanpeng Li (4):
KVM: x86: Simple kvm_x86_ops->queue_exception parameter
KVM: async_pf: Add L1 guest async_pf #PF vmexit handler
KVM: async_pf: Force a nested vmexit if the injected #PF is async_pf
KVM: async_pf: Let host know whether the guest support delivery async_pf as #PF vmexit
