If you don't do a clean nested exit (from L2 to L1), vmcs02 can't be generated from vmcs12... while L2 runs, it is possible that it modifies vmcs02 (e.g., non-trapped bits of guest_cr0), and these modifications are not copied back to vmcs12 until the nested exit (when prepare_vmcs12() is called to perform this task). If you do a nested exit (a "fake" one), vmcs12 is made up to date, and then indeed vmcs02 can be thrown away and regenerated.
