KVM: VMX: Properly handle kvm_read/write_guest_virt*() result
Syzbot reports the following issue:

'exception' we're trying to inject with kvm_inject_emulated_page_fault()
comes from:
nested_vmx_get_vmptr()
kvm_read_guest_virt()
kvm_read_guest_virt_helper()
vcpu->arch.walk_mmu->gva_to_gpa()
but it is only set when GVA to GPA conversion fails. In case it doesn't but
we still fail kvm_vcpu_read_guest_page(), X86EMUL_IO_NEEDED is returned and
nested_vmx_get_vmptr() calls kvm_inject_emulated_page_fault() with zeroed
'exception'. This happen when the argument is MMIO.
Paolo also noticed that nested_vmx_get_vmptr() is not the only place in
KVM code where kvm_read/write_guest_virt*() return result is mishandled.
VMX instructions along with INVPCID have the same issue. This was already
noticed before, e.g. see commit 541ab2a ("KVM: x86: work around
leak of uninitialized stack contents") but was never fully fixed.
KVM could've handled the request correctly by going to userspace and
performing I/O but there doesn't seem to be a good need for such requests
in the first place.
Introduce vmx_handle_memory_failure() as an interim solution.
Note, nested_vmx_get_vmptr() now has three possible outcomes: OK, PF,
KVM_EXIT_INTERNAL_ERROR and callers need to know if userspace exit is
needed (for KVM_EXIT_INTERNAL_ERROR) in case of failure. We don't seem
to have a good enum describing this tristate, just add "int *ret" to
nested_vmx_get_vmptr() interface to pass the information.
