So the root cause is that a running vCPU accessing the memory whose memslot
is being updated (met the condition KVM_MEMSLOT_INVALID is set on the its
memslot).

The normal #PF handler breaks KVM_RUN and returns -EFAULT to userspace, we'd
better to make ept-misconfig's handler follow this style as well.

Actually, the WARN_ON in ept-misconfig's handler is unnecessary as
kvm_mmu_page_fault() will warn us if it is the real ept misconfig, so we can
simply return kvm_mmu_page_fault().
