KVM: nVMX: Allow VMREAD when Enlightened VMCS is in use
Hyper-V TLFS explicitly forbids VMREAD and VMWRITE instructions when Enlightened VMCS interface is in use: "Any VMREAD or VMWRITE instructions while an enlightened VMCS is active is unsupported and can result in unexpected behavior."" Windows 11 + WSL2 seems to ignore this, attempts to VMREAD VMCS field 0x4404 ("VM-exit interruption information") are observed. Failing these attempts with nested_vmx_failInvalid() makes such guests unbootable. Microsoft confirms this is a Hyper-V bug and claims that it'll get fixed eventually but for the time being we need a workaround. (Temporary) allow VMREAD to get data from the currently loaded Enlightened VMCS. Note: VMWRITE instructions remain forbidden, it is not clear how to handle them properly and hopefully won't ever be needed.
