KVM: x86: forcibly leave nested mode on vCPU reset

While not obivous, kvm_vcpu_reset() leaves the nested mode by clearing
'vcpu->arch.hflags' but it does so without all the required housekeeping.

On SVM,	it is possible to have a vCPU reset while in guest mode because
unlike VMX, on SVM, INIT's are not latched in SVM non root mode and in
addition to that L1 doesn't have to intercept triple fault, which should
also trigger L1's reset if happens in L2 while L1 didn't intercept it.

If one of the above conditions happen, KVM will	continue to use vmcb02
while not having in the guest mode.

Later the IA32_EFER will be cleared which will lead to freeing of the
nested guest state which will (correctly) free the vmcb02, but since
KVM still uses it (incorrectly) this will lead to a use after free
and kernel crash.

This issue is assigned CVE-2022-3344
