Subject: [syzbot] [kvm?] WARNING in kvm_vcpu_ioctl

Hello,

AI-generated root cause summary:
When a VM is terminated or marked dead (e.g., via kvm_vm_dead() due to an error
in enter_smm() or migration), the KVM_REQ_VM_DEAD request is raised on its
vCPUs. If userspace subsequently issues the KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY ioctl,
kvm_tdp_page_prefault() bails out upon observing KVM_REQ_VM_DEAD and returns
-EIO. However, kvm_vcpu_pre_fault_memory() in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c considers -EIO
an unexpected internal condition and triggers WARN_ON_ONCE(r == 0 || r == -EIO).
In a production kernel without panic_on_warn, execution breaks out of the loop
and cleanly returns -EIO to userspace without crashing or corrupting memory.
