KVM: VMX: Drop explicit 'nested' check from vmx_set_cr4()
[ Upstream commit a447e38a7fadb2e554c3942dda183e55cccd5df0 ] Drop vmx_set_cr4()'s explicit check on the 'nested' module param now that common x86 handles the check by incorporating VMXE into the CR4 reserved bits, via kvm_cpu_caps. X86_FEATURE_VMX is set in kvm_cpu_caps (by vmx_set_cpu_caps()), if and only if 'nested' is true. No functional change intended.
