Subject: [PATCH v3 2/5] x86/msr: Carry on after a non-"safe" MSR access fails without !panic_on_oops

This demotes an OOPS and likely panic due to a failed non-"safe" MSR
access to a WARN and, for RDMSR, a return value of zero.  If
panic_on_oops is set, then failed unsafe MSR accesses will still
oops and panic.

To be clear, this type of failure should *not* happen.  This patch
exists to minimize the chance of nasty undebuggable failures due on
systems that used to work due to a now-fixed CONFIG_PARAVIRT=y bug.
