Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 08/17] KVM: SVM: Do not inject exception for Secure AVIC

From: Kishon Vijay Abraham I <kvijayab@....com>

Secure AVIC does not support injecting exception from the hypervisor.
Take an early return from svm_inject_exception() for Secure AVIC enabled
guests.

Hardware takes care of delivering exceptions initiated by the guest as
well as re-injecting exceptions initiated by the guest (in case there's
an intercept before delivering the exception).
