Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] KVM: x86/mmu: Exit to userspace on make_mmu_pages_available() error

Propagate any error returned by make_mmu_pages_available() out to
userspace instead of resuming the guest if the error occurs while
handling a page fault.  Now that zapping the oldest MMU pages skips
active roots, i.e. fails if and only if there are no zappable pages,
there is no chance for a false positive, i.e. no chance of returning a
spurious error to userspace.
