Subject: [PATCH] KVM: selftests: Use magic value to signal ucall_alloc()
  failure

Use a magic value to signal a ucall_alloc() failure instead of simply
doing GUEST_ASSERT().  GUEST_ASSERT() relies on ucall_alloc() and so a
failure puts the guest into an infinite loop.

Use -1 as the magic value, as a real ucall struct should never wrap.
