Subject: [PATCH] KVM: SVM: Propagate error from snp_guest_req_init() to userspace

If snp_guest_req_init() fails, return the provided error code up the
stack to userspace, e.g. so that userspace can log that KVM_SEV_INIT2
failed, as opposed to some random operation later in VM setup failing
because SNP wasn't actually enabled for the VM.

Note, KVM itself doesn't consult the return value from __sev_guest_init(),
i.e. the fallout is purely that userspace may be confused.

Fixes: 88caf544c930 ("KVM: SEV: Provide support for SNP_GUEST_REQUEST NAE event")
