checkpatch.pl will likely complain here asking for full description, e.g.

Fixes: 332d079735f5 ("KVM: nVMX: KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE - Tear down old EVMCS state before setting new state")

There's also something wrong with the patch as it fails to apply because
of (not only?) whitespace issues or maybe I'm just applying it to the
wrong tree...

Enlightened VMCS migration is just a 'theoretical' feature atm, we don't
know if it actually works but it's good we have a selftest for it so we
know when it definitely doesn't :-)
