KVM: nVMX: Release enlightened VMCS on VMCLEAR
Unlike VMREAD/VMWRITE/VMPTRLD, VMCLEAR is a valid instruction when enlightened VMCS is in use. TLFS has the following brief description: "The L1 hypervisor can execute a VMCLEAR instruction to transition an enlightened VMCS from the active to the non-active state". Normally, this change can be ignored as unmapping active eVMCS can be postponed until the next VMLAUNCH instruction but in case nested state is migrated with KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE/KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE, keeping eVMCS mapped may result in its synchronization with VMCS12 and this is incorrect: L1 hypervisor is free to reuse inactive eVMCS memory for something else. Inactive eVMCS after VMCLEAR can just be unmapped.
