Subject: [PATCH 4.19 069/103] KVM: x86: WARN_ONCE if sending a PV IPI returns a fatal error

4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sean Christopherson <sean.j.christopherson@...el.com>

commit de81c2f912ef57917bdc6d63b410c534c3e07982 upstream.

KVM hypercalls return a negative value error code in case of a fatal
error, e.g. when the hypercall isn't supported or was made with invalid
parameters.  WARN_ONCE on fatal errors when sending PV IPIs as any such
error all but guarantees an SMP system will hang due to a missing IPI.
