Recent introduction of the userspace msr filtering added code that uses
negative error codes for cases that result in either #GP delivery to
the guest, or handled by the userspace msr filtering.
This breaks an assumption that a negative error code returned from the
msr emulation code is a semi-fatal error which should be returned
to userspace via KVM_RUN ioctl and usually kill the guest.
Fix this by reusing the already existing KVM_MSR_RET_INVALID error code,
and by adding a new KVM_MSR_RET_FILTERED error code for the
userspace filtered msrs.

to userspace")

Apparently, it does not apply cleanly on today's linux-next. Paolo, is it
possible to toss this into -next soon, so our CI won't be blocked because of
this bug?
Yep, I plan to send it to Linus later this week.
