This makes sense, but I am not sure that ENXIO is any better...

In fact, in this case I think it's okay to just return zero.  What about
this fix:

diff --git a/arch/x86/kvm/lapic.c b/arch/x86/kvm/lapic.c
index b756f1237ce3..d02515b8018f 100644

 	map = rcu_dereference(kvm->arch.apic_map);

 	ret = kvm_apic_map_get_dest_lapic(kvm, &src, irq, map, &dst, &bitmap);

 				continue;

-				*r = 0;
 			*r += kvm_apic_set_irq(dst[i]->vcpu, irq, dest_map);
 		}
+	}

 	rcu_read_unlock();
 	return ret;
