Panic trace

Description of problem:

When running imagefactory in a Fedora 27 or Fedora 28 with updated kernel in a virtual machine with nested virtualization enabled, the virtual machine panics with a trace similar to the one in the attached screenshots (i've observed two different traces).

If I use kernel-core-4.13.9-300.fc27.x86_64 imagefactory works fine so i guess failure is related to kvm in kernel.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel-core-4.16.6-202.fc27.x86_64

How reproducible:

Allways

I'm attaching the panic trace that appears in console.

I've tested this out of imagefactory environment by simply running a virtual machine inside other VM with nested virtualization enabled. When powering off the nested VM, the "Hypervisor VM" panics with the trace shown in the attached log.

As said before, this happens since FC27 and worked fine with kernel kernel-core-4.13.9-300.fc27.x86_64.

*********** MASS BUG UPDATE **************

We apologize for the inconvenience.  There are a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale.  Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 28 kernel bugs.

Fedora 28 has now been rebased to 4.17.7-200.fc28.  Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel.

If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.
