KVM: x86: Signal #GP, not -EPERM, on bad WRMSR(MCi_CTL/STATUS)

Return '1', not '-1', when handling an illegal WRMSR to a MCi_CTL or
MCi_STATUS MSR.  The behavior of "all zeros' or "all ones" for CTL MSRs
is architectural, as is the "only zeros" behavior for STATUS MSRs.  I.e.
the intent is to inject a #GP, not exit to userspace due to an unhandled
emulation case.  Returning '-1' gets interpreted as -EPERM up the stack
and effecitvely kills the guest.

Fixes: 890ca9ae ("KVM: Add MCE support")
Fixes: 9ffd986c ("KVM: X86: #GP when guest attempts to write MCi_STATUS register w/o 0")
