nested_svm_vmrun() returns SVM_EXIT_ERR both when consistency checks for
MSRPM fail and when merging the MSRPM of vmcb12 with that of KVM fails. These
two failures are different in that the first one happens during consistency
checking while the second happens after consistency checking passes and after
guest mode switch is done. In order to differentiate between the two types of
error conditions, define an exit code that can be used to denote consistency
check failures. This new exit code is similar to what nVMX uses to denote
consistency check failures. For nSVM, we will use the highest bit in the high
part of the EXIT_CODE field.
