Error out if kvm_mmu_reload() fails when pre-faulting memory, as trying to fault-in SPTEs will fail miserably due to root.hpa pointing at garbage. Note, kvm_mmu_reload() can return -EIO and thus trigger the WARN on -EIO in kvm_vcpu_pre_fault_memory(), but all such paths also WARN, i.e. the WARN isn't user-triggerable and won't run afoul of warn-on-panic because the kernel would already be panicking.
