The patch below does not apply to the 4.4-stable tree. If someone wants it applied there, or to any other stable or longterm tree, then please email the backport, including the original git commit id to stable@vger.kernel.org.

Personally, I don't think it is worth backportint to 4.4, however, if someone thinks differently please don't forget to also pick up

KVM: VMX: fix crash cleanup when KVM wasn't used

or things will regress.

Thanks for pointing that out, it also needs to go to all other kernel trees, will go do that now.
