    x86/altp2m: make sure EPTP_INDEX is up-to-date when enabling #VE
    
    vmx_vmexit_handler() assumes that if
    SECONDARY_EXEC_ENABLE_VIRT_EXCEPTIONS is set, that the value in
    EPTP_INDEX is valid.  Unfortunately, the function which sets this bit
    (vmx_vcpu_update_vmfunc_ve) doesn't actually set EPTP_INDEX; it will
    only be set the next time vmx_vcpu_update_eptp() is called.
    
    This means that if a vcpu makes a vmexit between these two points, the
    EPTP_INDEX it reads will be invalid.  The first time this race happens
    for a domain, EPTP_INDEX will most likely be zero, which is the index
    for the "host" p2m -- and thus is often correct.  But the second time
    this race happens, the value will typically be INVALID_ALTP2M, which
    will hit the following BUG:
    
        BUG_ON(idx >= MAX_ALTP2M);
    
    Worse, if for some reason the current altp2m was *not* `0` during this
    window (say, because a toolstack changed the VM to a different view),
    then the accounting of active vcpus for an altp2m will be thrown off.
    
    Fix this by always updating EPTP_INDEX to the current altp2m index
    when enabling #VE.
