Add a WARN in free_nested() to ensure vmcs01 is loaded prior to freeing vmcs02 and friends, and explicitly switch to vmcs01 if it's not. KVM is supposed to keep is_guest_mode() and loaded_vmcs==vmcs02 synchronized, but bugs happen and freeing vmcs02 while it's in use will escalate a KVM error to a use-after-free and potentially crash the kernel. Do the WARN and switch even in the !vmxon case to help detect latent bugs. free_nested() is not a hot path, and the check is cheap.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
