Subject: [PATCH] KVM: SVM: Mark VMCB_PERM_MAP as dirty on nested VMRUN

Mark the VMCB_PERM_MAP bit as dirty in nested_vmcb02_prepare_control() on every nested VMRUN.

If L1 changes MSR interception (INTERCEPT_MSR_PROT) between two VMRUN instructions on the same L1 vCPU, the msrpm_base_pa in the associated vmcb02 will change, and the VMCB_PERM_MAP clean bit should be cleared.

Fixes 4bb170a5430b ("KVM: nSVM: do not mark all VMCB02 fields dirty on nested vmexit")
