Subject: [PATCH] KVM: nSVM: Always inject a #GP if mapping VMCB12 fails on
nested VMRUN

nested_svm_vmrun() currently only injects a #GP if kvm_vcpu_map() fails with -EINVAL. But it could also fail with -EFAULT if creating a host mapping failed. Inject a #GP in all cases, no reason to treat failure modes differently.

Fixes 8c5fbf1a7231 ("KVM/nSVM: Use the new mapping API for mapping guest memory")
