[PATCH v2] VMX: Enhance invalid guest state emulation

[Mohammed Gamal <m.gamal005@xxxxxxxxx>]

- Change returned handle_invalid_guest_state() to return relevant exit codes
- Move triggering the emulation from vmx_vcpu_run() to vmx_handle_exit()
- Return to userspace instead of repeatedly trying to emulate
instructions that have already failed
