Heh, indeed. I was puzzled for a second after applying it, then decided
I would just fix it myself. :)

The only effect of the function below over svm_set_efer is to guarantee
a vmrun error to happen. Doing the test in nested_vmcb_checks is more
consistent with other must-be-one bits such as the VMRUN intercept, and
it's also a smaller patch.
