Avi Kivity b7c4145ba2 KVM: Don't spin on virt instruction faults during reboot
Since vmx blocks INIT signals, we disable virtualization extensions during
reboot.  This leads to virtualization instructions faulting; we trap these
faults and spin while the reboot continues.

Unfortunately spinning on a non-preemptible kernel may block a task that
reboot depends on; this causes the reboot to hang.

Fix by skipping over the instruction and hoping for the best.
