This most likely breaks triple faults in the usual case where they
should result in resetting the system; the KVM API doesn't say that you
should clear vcpu->run->exit_reason before entering.

What exactly causes the EPT misconfig to reach the WARN?  That is, how
does kvm_mmu_page_fault end up returning a negative errno value?  If I
read the code correctly only tdp_page_fault can do so, so my guess would
be kvm_handle_bad_page:

         if (pfn == KVM_PFN_ERR_RO_FAULT)
                 return RET_PF_EMULATE;

         if (pfn == KVM_PFN_ERR_HWPOISON) {
                 kvm_send_hwpoison_signal(kvm_vcpu_gfn_to_hva(vcpu, gfn),
current);
                 return RET_PF_RETRY;
         }

	/* KVM_PFN_ERR_FAULT */
         return -EFAULT;

Maybe it should return RET_PF_EMULATE, which would cause an emulation
failure and then an exit with KVM_EXIT_INTERNAL_ERROR.

So the root cause is that a running vCPU accessing the memory whose memslot
is being updated (met the condition KVM_MEMSLOT_INVALID is set on the its
memslot).

The normal #PF handler breaks KVM_RUN and returns -EFAULT to userspace, we'd
better to make ept-misconfig's handler follow this style as well.

Actually, the WARN_ON in ept-misconfig's handler is unnecessary as
kvm_mmu_page_fault() will warn us if it is the real ept misconfig, so we can
simply return kvm_mmu_page_fault().
