When L2 runs under nested NPT and uses PAE paging, KVM's cached PDPTRs in mmu->pdptrs[] can hold stale or wrong values after nested transitions and across migration restore, because both nested_svm_load_cr3() and svm_get_nested_state_pages() only refresh PDPTRs on the !nested_npt path. The user-visible bug is on migration restore of an L2 running with nested NPT and 32-bit PAE paging, if userspace uses KVM_SET_SREGS rather than KVM_SET_SREGS2. In that case, load_pdptrs() leaves VCPU_EXREG_PDPTR marked as available, and kvm_pdptr_read() will use a stale translation that used L1 GPAs instead of L2 nGPAs. svm_get_nested_state_pages() runs on first KVM_RUN but skips the refresh because nested_npt_enabled() is true. The CPU itself reads L2's PDPTRs correctly from memory via L1's NPT, but KVM-side walking of guest PAE page tables uses the bogus cached values. Unlike Intel's GUEST_PDPTR0..3 fields in the VMCS, SVM has no VMCB-cached PDPTR state: the in-memory PDPTEs at the current CR3 are the only source of truth, and svm_cache_reg(VCPU_EXREG_PDPTR) simply reloads them from memory via load_pdptrs(). Clearing the avail bit (and the dirty bit because !avail/dirty is invalid) to force a reload when PDPTRs as needed fixes the bug. Do the same for nested_svm_load_cr3()'s nested_npt branch, so that the invariant "PDPTRs need reloading" is handled similarly for both immediate and deferred loading.
