svm->next_rip is only used by skip_emulated_instruction() and in case kvm_set_msr() fails we rightfully don't do that. Move svm->next_rip advancement to 'else' branch to avoid creating false impression that it's always advanced (and make it look like rdmsr_interception()). This is a preparatory change to removing hardcoded RIP advancement from instruction intercepts, no functional change.
