Running a KVM guest using a 6.9-rc3 kernel, in a 6.8 host that has zkr
enabled, will fail with a kernel oops SIGILL right at the start. The
reason is that we can't expose zkr without implementing the SEED CSR.
Disabling zkr in the guest would be a workaround, but if the KVM doesn't
allow it we'll error out and never boot.
In hindsight this is too strict. If we keep proceeding, despite not
disabling the extension in the KVM vcpu, we'll not add the extension in
the riscv,isa. The guest kernel will be unaware of the extension, i.e.
it doesn't matter if the KVM vcpu has it enabled underneath or not. So
it's ok to keep booting in this case.
Change our current logic to not error out if we fail to disable an
extension in kvm_set_one_reg(), but show a warning and keep booting. It
is important to throw a warning because we must make the user aware that
the extension is still available in the vcpu, meaning that an
ill-behaved guest can ignore the riscv,isa settings and use the
extension.
The case we're handling happens with an EINVAL error code. If we fail to
disable the extension in KVM for any other reason, error out.
We'll also keep erroring out when we fail to enable an extension in KVM,
since adding the extension in riscv,isa at this point will cause a guest
malfunction because the extension isn't enabled in the vcpu.
