[PATCH v3 37/62] KVM: SVM: Revert IRTE to legacy mode if IOMMU doesn't provide IR metadata

Revert the IRTE back to remapping mode if the AMD IOMMU driver mucks up
and doesn't provide the necessary metadata. Returning an error up the
stack without actually handling the error is useless and confusing.
