Subject: [PATCH v2 9/9] KVM: x86: remove exit_int_info warning in svm_handle_exit

It is valid to receive external interrupt and have broken IDT entry,
which will lead to #GP with exit_int_into that will contain the index of
the IDT entry (e.g any value).

Other exceptions can happen as well, like #NP or #SS
(if stack switch fails).

Thus this warning can be user triggred and has very little value.
