commit adc2a23734ac ("KVM: nSVM: improve SYSENTER emulation on AMD"), made init_vmcb set vmload/vmsave intercepts unconditionally, and relied on svm_vcpu_after_set_cpuid to clear them when possible. However init_vmcb is also called when the vCPU is reset, and it is not followed by another call to svm_vcpu_after_set_cpuid because the CPUID is already set. This mistake makes the VMSAVE/VMLOAD intercept to be set when it is not needed, and harms performance of the nested guest.
