Exit to userspace with an emulation error if KVM encounters an injected
exception with invalid guest state, in addition to the existing check of
bailing if there's a pending exception (KVM doesn't support emulating
exceptions except when emulating real mode via vm86).

In theory, KVM should never get to such a situation as KVM is supposed to
exit to userspace before injecting an exception with invalid guest state.
But in practice, userspace can intervene and manually inject an exception
and/or stuff registers to force invalid guest state while a previously
injected exception is awaiting reinjection.
