KVM: nVMX: VMX instructions: fix segment checks when L1 is in long mode.
I couldn't get Xen to boot a L2 HVM when it was nested under KVM - it was getting a GP(0) on a rather unspecial vmread from Xen: (XEN) ----[ Xen-4.7.0-rc x86_64 debug=n Not tainted ]---- (XEN) CPU: 1 (XEN) RIP: e008:[<ffff82d0801e629e>] vmx_get_segment_register+0x14e/0x450 (XEN) RFLAGS: 0000000000010202 CONTEXT: hypervisor (d1v0) (XEN) rax: ffff82d0801e6288 rbx: ffff83003ffbfb7c rcx: fffffffffffab928 (XEN) rdx: 0000000000000000 rsi: 0000000000000000 rdi: ffff83000bdd0000 (XEN) rbp: ffff83000bdd0000 rsp: ffff83003ffbfab0 r8: ffff830038813910 (XEN) r9: ffff83003faf3958 r10: 0000000a3b9f7640 r11: ffff83003f82d418 (XEN) r12: 0000000000000000 r13: ffff83003ffbffff r14: 0000000000004802 (XEN) r15: 0000000000000008 cr0: 0000000080050033 cr4: 00000000001526e0 (XEN) cr3: 000000003fc79000 cr2: 0000000000000000 (XEN) ds: 0000 es: 0000 fs: 0000 gs: 0000 ss: 0000 cs: e008 (XEN) Xen code around <ffff82d0801e629e> (vmx_get_segment_register+0x14e/0x450): (XEN) 00 00 41 be 02 48 00 00 <44> 0f 78 74 24 08 0f 86 38 56 00 00 b8 08 68 00 (XEN) Xen stack trace from rsp=ffff83003ffbfab0: ...

Shuffling the code a bit to make our emulation follow the specification allows me to boot a Xen dom0 in a nested KVM and start HVM L2 guests without problems.
