Subject: [PATCH] x86/kvm/nVMX: set exit_qualification correctly when nested_vmx_load_msr() fails

Commit e79f245ddec1 ("X86/KVM: Properly update 'tsc_offset' to represent
the running guest") introduced a regression in enter_vmx_non_root_mode():
when nested_vmx_load_msr() fails exit_qualification needs to point to the
entry number we failed to validate. Intel's SDM states:

"VM-entry failure due to MSR loading. The exit qualification is loaded to
indicate which entry in the VM-entry MSR-load area caused the problem (1
for the first entry, 2 for the second, etc.)."

Fixes: e79f245ddec1 ("X86/KVM: Properly update 'tsc_offset' to represent the running guest")

This looks similar to my "[PATCH] kvm: nVMX: Restore exit qual for
VM-entry failure due to MSR loading"

... which is still not in kvm/queue. Missed that, sorry! Let this one just
be a gentle ping then :-)
