The problem here is that the caller(linux guest kernel) doesn't retry
if PSC fails. The current implementation in the guest kernel is that
if a page state change request fails, it terminates the VM with
GHCB_TERM_PSC reason.
Returning 0 here is not a good option because it will fail the PSC
silently and will probably cause a nested RMP fault later. Returning
an error also terminates the guest immediately with current guest
implementation. I think the best approach here is adding a retry logic
to this function. Retrying without returning an error should help it
work because snp_check_and_build_npt will be called again and in the
second attempt this should work.
