handle KVM_VCPUEVENT_VALID_SMM properly, or kvm-kmod/kernel will crash
in migration destination in gfn_to_rmap() since kvm_memslots_for_spte_role
is false, whilst (vcpu->arch.hflags & HF_SMM_MASK) is true

Hi, do you think this is OK for linux 4.9?

Thanks for the notification.

I think it would be better to use kvm_smm_changed().
Calling kvm_mmu_reset_context() only when SMM mode changed also seems
beneficial, which is already done in kvm_set_hflags().

It is a fix and can go into later 4.9 release candidates, in case we
miss the first one.
