Recent introduction of the userspace msr filtering added code that uses
negative error codes for cases that result in either #GP delivery to
the guest, or handled by the userspace msr filtering.
This breaks an assumption that a negative error code returned from the
msr emulation code is a semi-fatal error which should be returned
to userspace via KVM_RUN ioctl and usually kill the guest.
Fix this by reusing the already existing KVM_MSR_RET_INVALID error code,
and by adding a new KVM_MSR_RET_FILTERED error code for the
userspace filtered msrs.
Fixes: 291f35fb2c1d1 ("KVM: x86: report negative values from wrmsr emulation to userspace")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
