Subject: [PATCH] KVM: SVM: Mark VMCB_NPT as dirty on nested VMRUN
Mark the VMCB_NPT bit as dirty in nested_vmcb02_prepare_save()
on every nested VMRUN.
If L1 changes the PAT MSR between two VMRUN instructions on the same
L1 vCPU, the g_pat field in the associated vmcb02 will change, and the
VMCB_NPT clean bit should be cleared.
Fixes: 4bb170a5430b ("KVM: nSVM: do not mark all VMCB02 fields dirty on nested vmexit")
