Subject: [PATCH v3] KVM: x86: fix for missing initialization of return status variable

If undefined ioctl number is passed to the kvm_vcpu_ioctl_device_attr
ioctl, we should trigger KVM_BUG_ON() and return with EIO to silent
coverity warning.

Addresses-Coverity: 1494124 ("Uninitialized scalar variable")
