x86/mm: Don't perform flush after failing to update a guests L1e
If the L1e update hasn't occured, the flush cannot do anything useful. This
skips the potentially expensive vcpumask_to_pcpumask() conversion, and
broadcast TLB shootdown.
More importantly however, we might be in the error path due to a bad va
parameter from the guest, and this should not propagate into the TLB flushing
logic. The INVPCID instruction for example raises #GP for a non-canonical
address.
This is XSA-279.
