Fix an issue that allows userspace to trigger a WARN by rejecting KVM_RUN

No small part of me thinks this is a waste of code and that we'd be better
off just deleting the WARN. But it's also not hard to fix and there are
still folks out there that run on Core2...
Intentionally didn't tag for stable. I highly doubt this actually fixes
anything for anyone, the goal is purely to prevent userspace from triggering
the WARN.
