Subject: [PATCH 33/45] KVM: VMX: Handle mmio emulation when guest state is invalid

From: Guillaume Thouvenin <guillaume.thouvenin@....bull.net>

If emulate_invalid_guest_state is enabled, the emulator is called
when guest state is invalid.  Until now, we reported an mmio failure
when emulate_instruction() returned EMULATE_DO_MMIO.  This patch adds
the case where emulate_instruction() failed and an MMIO emulation
is needed.
