As written, no need to initialize vmcb.  Might be a moot point depending on the
final form of the code.

Checking nmi_l1_to_l2 is wrong.  KVM should directly re-inject any NMI that was
already recognized by hardware, not just those that were originally injected by
L1.

If another event comes along, e.g. SMI, because an event (NMI) is already injected,
KVM will send a hardware IRQ to interrupt the guest and forcea a VM-Exit so that
the SMI can be injected.  If hardware does the (IMO) sane thing and prioritizes
"real" IRQs over virtual NMIs, the IRQ VM-Exit will occur before the virtual NMI
is processed and KVM will incorrectly service the SMI before the NMI.

I believe the correct way to handle this is to add a @reinjected param to
->inject_nmi(), a la ->inject_irq().  That would also allow adding a sanity check
that KVM never attempts to inject an NMI into L2 if NMIs are supposed to trigger
VM-Exit.

This is the least ugly code I could come up with.  Note, if vNMI is enabled,
hardare sets V_NMI_MASKED if an NMI is injected through event_inj.

static void svm_inject_nmi(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, bool reinjected)
{
	struct vcpu_svm *svm = to_svm(vcpu);

	/*
	 * Except for re-injection, KVM should never inject an NMI into L2 if
	 * NMIs are supposed to exit from L2 to L1.
	 */
	WARN_ON_ONCE(!reinjected && is_guest_mode(vcpu) && nested_exit_on_nmi(svm));

	if (is_vnmi_enabled(svm)) {
		if (!reinjected)
			svm->vmcb->control.int_ctl |= V_NMI_PENDING;
		else
			svm->vmcb->control.event_inj = SVM_EVTINJ_VALID |
						       SVM_EVTINJ_TYPE_NMI;
		++vcpu->stat.nmi_injections;
		return;
	}

	svm->vmcb->control.event_inj = SVM_EVTINJ_VALID | SVM_EVTINJ_TYPE_NMI;

	if (svm->nmi_l1_to_l2)
		return;

	vcpu->arch.hflags |= HF_NMI_MASK;
	if (!sev_es_guest(vcpu->kvm))
		svm_set_intercept(svm, INTERCEPT_IRET);
	++vcpu->stat.nmi_injections;
}
