nested_svm_vmrun() currently stores the return value of
nested_svm_copy_vmcb12_to_cache() in a local variable 'err', separate
from the generally used 'ret' variable. This is done to have a single
call to kvm_skip_emulated_instruction(), such that we can store the
return value of kvm_skip_emulated_instruction() in 'ret', and then
re-check the return value of nested_svm_copy_vmcb12_to_cache() in 'err'.

The code is unnecessarily confusing. Instead, call
kvm_skip_emulated_instruction() in the failure path of
nested_svm_copy_vmcb12_to_cache() if the return value is not -EFAULT,
and drop 'err'.
