Consider the case that userspace enables KVM_CAP_HYPERV_ENLIGHTENED_VMCS twice:
1) kvm_vcpu_ioctl_enable_cap() is called to enable
KVM_CAP_HYPERV_ENLIGHTENED_VMCS which calls nested_enable_evmcs().
2) nested_enable_evmcs() sets enlightened_vmcs_enabled to true and fills
vmcs_version which is then copied to userspace.
3) kvm_vcpu_ioctl_enable_cap() is called again to enable
KVM_CAP_HYPERV_ENLIGHTENED_VMCS which calls nested_enable_evmcs().
4) This time nested_enable_evmcs() just returns 0 as
enlightened_vmcs_enabled is already true. *Without filling
vmcs_version*.
5) kvm_vcpu_ioctl_enable_cap() continues as usual and copies
*uninitialized* vmcs_version to userspace which leads to kernel info-leak.

Fix this issue by simply changing nested_enable_evmcs() to always fill
vmcs_version output argument. Even when enlightened_vmcs_enabled is
already set to true.

Note that SVM's nested_enable_evmcs() should not be modified because it
always returns a non-zero value (-ENODEV) which results in
kvm_vcpu_ioctl_enable_cap() skipping the copy of vmcs_version to
userspace (as it should).
