Subject: [PATCH] KVM: emulate: warn on invalid or uninitialized exception numbers

These were reported when running Jailhouse on AMD processors.

Initialize ctxt->exception.vector with an invalid exception number,
and warn if it remained invalid even though the emulator got
an X86EMUL_PROPAGATE_FAULT return code.
