"KVM: VMX" for the scope, or maybe even "KVM: nVMX:" despite this not touching
vmx/nested.c.  Either way (but not "kvm/vmx:").

Probably worth adding a sentence to clarify that the existing code isn't buggy
only because free_page() plays nice with getting passed '0' and vmx_bitmap is
initialized to zero.  Something like:

  Make sure nested_vmx_hardware_setup/unsetup() are called in pairs under
  the same conditions.  Calling nested_vmx_hardware_unsetup() when nested
  is false "works" right now because it only calls free_page() on zero-
  initialized pointers, but it's possible that more code will be added to
  nested_vmx_hardware_unsetup() in the future.
