The syzkaller creates a former thread to issue KVM_SMI ioctl, and then creates
a latter thread to mmap and operate on the same vCPU, rsm emulation will not be 
executed since there is no something like seabios which implements smi handler 
when running syzkaller directly. This triggers a race condition when running 
the testcase with multiple threads. Sometimes one thread exit w/ SHUTDOWN 
reason, another thread mmaps and operates on the same vCPU, it continues to 
use CS=0x30000, IP=0x8000 to access the address of SMI handler which results 
in the above ept misconfig. This patch fixes it by returning RET_PF_EMULATE
in kvm_handle_bad_page() which would cause an emulation failure and then an 
exit with KVM_EXIT_INTERNAL_ERROR, the VM will stop instead of resetting and 
be taken advantage of.
