KVM: SEV: Don't terminate SNP VMs on #VMGEXIT without a registered GHCB

Browse source

If the guest attempts a non-MSR #VMGEXIT without the registered GHCB,
return a GHCB_HV_RESP_MALFORMED_INPUT+GHCB_ERR_NOT_REGISTERED error to the
guest instead of exiting KVM_RUN with -EINVAL (and in likelihood killing
the VM).  KVM has already mapped the requested GHCB, i.e. can cleanly
report an error, and so exiting with -EINVAL is completely unjustified.
