Sean Christopherson 5276c616ab KVM: x86/mmu: Add RET_PF_CONTINUE to eliminate bool+int* "returns"
Add RET_PF_CONTINUE and use it in handle_abnormal_pfn() and
kvm_faultin_pfn() to signal that the page fault handler should continue
doing its thing.  Aside from being gross and inefficient, using a boolean
return to signal continue vs. stop makes it extremely difficult to add
more helpers and/or move existing code to a helper.

E.g. hypothetically, if nested MMUs were to gain a separate page fault
handler in the future, everything up to the "is self-modifying PTE" check
can be shared by all shadow MMUs, but communicating up the stack whether
to continue on or stop becomes a nightmare.

More concretely, proposed support for private guest memory ran into a
similar issue, where it'll be forced to forego a helper in order to yield
sane code: https://lore.kernel.org/all/YkJbxiL%2FAz7olWlq@google.com.

No functional change intended.
