KVM: nSVM: Bail early out of VMRUN emulation if advancing RIP fails

Browse source

If svm_skip_emulation_instruction() fails, then RIP could not be
advanced correctly (e.g. decode failure when NextRIP is not available).
KVM will exit to userspace to handle the emulation failure, but only
after stuffing the wrong RIP into vmcb01 and entering guest mode.

Bail early and exit to userspace before committing any side-effects of
emulating the VMRUN (e.g. entering guest mode).
