Similar to an earlier patch, preferred style for terminal if-statements is

		if (addr == KVM_HVA_ERR_RO_BAD)
			return KVM_PFN_ERR_RO_FAULT;

		return KVM_PFN_NOSLOT;

Again, there are reasons for the style/rule.  In this case, it will yield a smaller
diff (obviously not a huge deal, but helpful), and it makes it more obvious that
the taken path of "if (kvm_is_error_hva(addr))" is itself terminal.

Alternatively, a ternary operator is often used for these types of things, though
in this case I much prefer the above, as I find the below hard to read.

		return addr == KVM_HVA_ERR_RO_BAD ? KVM_PFN_ERR_RO_FAULT :
						    KVM_PFN_NOSLOT;
