But the host code updates the index. It doesn't leave the loop because
rc is 0. The guest will think that it is successful.
rc = __snp_handle_page_state_change(vcpu, op, gpa, level);
if (rc)
goto out;
Also the page state change request with MSR is not retried. It
terminates the VM if the MSR request fails.
