KVM: x86: Update number of entries for KVM_GET_CPUID2 on success, not failure

Browse source

Update cpuid->nent if and only if kvm_vcpu_ioctl_get_cpuid2() succeeds.
The sole caller copies @cpuid to userspace only on success, i.e. the
existing code effectively does nothing.

Arguably, KVM should report the number of entries when returning -E2BIG so
that userspace doesn't have to guess the size, but all other similar KVM
ioctls() don't report the size either, i.e. userspace is conditioned to
guess.
