Try to unprotect and retry the instruction execution before checking for
unhandleable vectoring. If there is a write to a shadowed page table
when vectoring an event, KVM should be able to unprotect the gfn and
retry the instruction execution without returning an error to userspace.
This ensures that the subsequent patches won't make KVM exit to
userspace when handling an intercepted #PF during vectoring without
checking whether unprotect & retry is possible.
