Currently if an SEV-ES VM shuts down userspace sees KVM_RUN struct with
only the INVALID_ARGUMENT. This is a very limited amount of information
to debug the situation. Instead KVM can return a
KVM_SYSTEM_EVENT_SEV_TERM to alert userspace the VM is shutting down and
is not usable any further. This latter point can be enforced using the
kvm_vm_dead() functionality.

I am not sure if this is the right path forward maybe just returning
KVM_EXIT_SHUTDOWN is better. But the current behavior is very unhelpful.
