KVM: nVMX: do not warn when MSR bitmap address is not backed



Before trying to do nested_get_page() in nested_vmx_merge_msr_bitmap(),
we have already checked that the MSR bitmap address is valid (4k aligned
and within physical limits).  SDM doesn't specify what happens if the
there is no memory mapped at the valid address, but Intel CPUs treat the
situation as if the bitmap was configured to trap all MSRs.

KVM already does that by returning false and a correct handling doesn't
need the guest-trigerrable warning that was reported by syzkaller:
(The warning was originally there to catch some possible bugs in nVMX.)

[Jim Mattson explained the bare metal behavior: "I believe this behavior
 would be documented in the chipset data sheet rather than the SDM,
 since the chipset returns all 1s for an unclaimed read."]
