KVM: SVM: Don't inject #UD if KVM attempts to skip SEV guest insn

Don't inject a #UD if KVM attempts to "emulate" to skip an instruction
for an SEV guest, and instead resume the guest and hope that it can make
forward progress.  When commit 04c40f344def ("KVM: SVM: Inject #UD on
attempted emulation for SEV guest w/o insn buffer") added the completely
arbitrary #UD behavior, there were no known scenarios where a well-behaved
guest would induce a VM-Exit that triggered emulation, i.e. it was thought
that injecting #UD would be helpful.

However, now that KVM (correctly) attempts to re-inject INT3/INTO, e.g. if
a #NPF is encountered when attempting to deliver the INT3/INTO, an SEV
guest can trigger emulation without a buffer, through no fault of its own.
Resuming the guest and retrying the INT3/INTO is architecturally wrong,
e.g. the vCPU will incorrectly re-hit code #DBs, but for SEV guests there
is literally no other option that has a chance of making forward progress.

Drop the #UD injection for all "skip" emulation, not just those related to
INT3/INTO, even though that means that the guest will likely end up in an
infinite loop instead of getting a #UD (the vCPU may also crash, e.g. if
KVM emulated everything about an instruction except for advancing RIP).
There's no evidence that suggests that an unexpected #UD is actually
better than hanging the vCPU, e.g. a soft-hung vCPU can still respond to
IRQs and NMIs to generate a backtrace.
