Maybe I'm missing something, but don't we want to keep returning an error?

rationale: Current behavior: return -EINVAL to userpsace, but
userpsace cannot infer where the -EINVAL came from. After this patch:
We should still return -EINVAL to userspace, but now userspace can
parse this new info in the KVM run struct to properly terminate.

I removed the error return code here since an SEV guest may request a
termination due to no fault of the host at all. This is now inline
with any other shutdown requested by the guest. I don't have a strong
preference here but EINVAL doesn't seem correct in all cases, do
others have any thoughts on this?
