I think this commit message fails to explain the crucial bit, which is
that a guest can somehow create a situation that brings down the VM when
trying to migrate the VM, which we shouldn't allow.

Can you explain what case that is, and how that is then solved?

(I can't tell from looking at this patch if the EINVAL or the EFAULT are
the things that userspace can just ignore with a warning or, and which
is the one that really should crash the VM and why).

I'm still not convinced that this is a candidate for stable:

Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst

It's about error codes and is pretty large, has documentation changes
etc.
