target-i386: hyper-v: Correct kvm_hv_handle_exit return value

This bug fix addresses the incorrect return value of kvm_hv_handle_exit for
KVM_EXIT_HYPERV_SYNIC, which should be EXCP_INTERRUPT.

Handling of KVM_EXIT_HYPERV_SYNIC in QEMU needs to be synchronous.
This means that async_synic_update should run in the current QEMU vCPU
thread before returning to KVM, returning EXCP_INTERRUPT to guarantee this.
Returning 0 can cause async_synic_update to run asynchronously.

One problem (kvm-unit-tests's hyperv_synic test fails with timeout error)
caused by this bug:

When a guest VM writes to the HV_X64_MSR_SCONTROL MSR to enable Hyper-V SynIC,
a VM exit is triggered and processed by the kvm_hv_handle_exit function of the
QEMU vCPU. This function then calls the async_synic_update function to set
synic->sctl_enabled to true. A true value of synic->sctl_enabled is required
before creating SINT routes using the hyperv_sint_route_new() function.

If kvm_hv_handle_exit returns 0 for KVM_EXIT_HYPERV_SYNIC, the current QEMU
vCPU thread may return to KVM and enter the guest VM before running
async_synic_update. In such case, the hyperv_synic test’s subsequent call to
synic_ctl(HV_TEST_DEV_SINT_ROUTE_CREATE, ...) immediately after writing to
HV_X64_MSR_SCONTROL can cause QEMU’s hyperv_sint_route_new() function to return
prematurely (because synic->sctl_enabled is false).

If the SINT route is not created successfully, the SINT interrupt will not be
fired, resulting in a timeout error in the hyperv_synic test.
