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.
