x86: kvm: svm: propagate errors from skip_emulated_instruction()



On AMD, kvm_x86_ops->skip_emulated_instruction(vcpu) can, in theory,
fail: in !nrips case we call kvm_emulate_instruction(EMULTYPE_SKIP).
Currently, we only do printk(KERN_DEBUG) when this happens and this
is not ideal. Propagate the error up the stack.

On VMX, skip_emulated_instruction() doesn't fail, we have two call
sites calling it explicitly: handle_exception_nmi() and
handle_task_switch(), we can just ignore the result.

On SVM, we also have two explicit call sites:
svm_queue_exception() and it seems we don't need to do anything there as
we check if RIP was advanced or not. In task_switch_interception(),
however, we are better off not proceeding to kvm_task_switch() in case
skip_emulated_instruction() failed.
