KVM: MMU: Fix infinite loop when there is no available mmu page



The below test case can cause infinite loop in kvm when ept=0.

    #include <unistd.h>
    #include <sys/syscall.h>
    #include <string.h>
    #include <stdint.h>
    #include <linux/kvm.h>
    #include <fcntl.h>
    #include <sys/ioctl.h>

    long r[5];
    int main()
    {
    	r[2] = open("/dev/kvm", O_RDONLY);
    	r[3] = ioctl(r[2], KVM_CREATE_VM, 0);
    	r[4] = ioctl(r[3], KVM_CREATE_VCPU, 7);
    	ioctl(r[4], KVM_RUN, 0);
    }

It doesn't setup the memory regions, mmu_alloc_shadow/direct_roots() in
kvm return 1 when kvm fails to allocate root page table which can result
in beblow infinite loop:

    vcpu_run() {
    	for (;;) {
	    	r = vcpu_enter_guest()::kvm_mmu_reload() returns 1
	    	if (r <= 0)
	    		break;
	    	if (need_resched())
	    		cond_resched();
      }
    }

This patch fixes it by returning -ENOSPC when there is no available kvm mmu
page for root page table.
