Subject: [PATCH v15 22/23] KVM: SEV: Fix return code interpretation for RMP nested page faults

The intended logic when handling #NPFs with the RMP bit set (31) is to
first check to see if the #NPF requires a shared<->private transition
and, if so, to go ahead and let the corresponding KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT
get forwarded on to userspace before proceeding with any handling of
other potential RMP fault conditions like needing to PSMASH the RMP
entry/etc (which will be done later if the guest still re-faults after
the KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT is processed by userspace).

The determination of whether any userspace handling of
KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT is needed is done by interpreting the return code
of kvm_mmu_page_fault(). However, the current code misinterprets the
return code, expecting 0 to indicate a userspace exit rather than less
than 0 (-EFAULT). This leads to the following unexpected behavior:

  - for KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULTs resulting for implicit shared->private
    conversions, warnings get printed from sev_handle_rmp_fault()
    because it does not expect to be called for GPAs where
    KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_PRIVATE is not set. Standard linux guests don't
    generally do this, but it is allowed and should be handled
    similarly to private->shared conversions rather than triggering any
    sort of warnings

  - if gmem support for 2MB folios is enabled (via currently out-of-tree
    code), implicit shared<->private conversions will always result in
    a PSMASH being attempted, even if it's not actually needed to
    resolve the RMP fault. This doesn't cause any harm, but results in a
    needless PSMASH and zapping of the sPTE

Resolve these issues by calling sev_handle_rmp_fault() only when
kvm_mmu_page_fault()'s return code is greater than or equal to 0,
indicating a KVM_MEMORY_EXIT_FAULT/-EFAULT isn't needed. While here,
simplify the code slightly and fix up the associated comments for better
clarity.
