I think KVM (L1) should also do something like

  diff --git a/arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c b/arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c
  index dd274db9bf77..c15a9f178e60 100644
  --- a/arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c
  +++ b/arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c
  @@ -7991,7 +7991,7 @@ static bool nested_vmx_exit_handled(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
   		if (is_nmi(intr_info))
   			return false;
   		else if (is_page_fault(intr_info))
  -			return enable_ept;
  +			return !vmx->apf_reason && enable_ept;
   		else if (is_no_device(intr_info) &&
   			 !(vmcs12->guest_cr0 & X86_CR0_TS))
   			return false;

so it doesn't pass the APF directed towards it (L1) into L2 if there is
L3 at the moment.
