In which case you want a return value. Also, instead of the value,shift
pair I would add another u64.

Something like:

struct msr_action {
	u32 msr;
	int ret;
	u64 mask, bits;
};

static void msr_update_function(void *info)
{
	struct msr_action *ma = info;
	int ret = 0;
	u64 val;

	ret = rdmsrl_safe(ma->msr, &val);
	if (ret)
		goto out;

	val &= ma->mask;
	val |= ma->bits;

	ret = wrmsrl_safe(ma->msr, val);

out:
	ma->ret = ret;
}

int rmwmsrl_safe_on_cpu(u32 msr, int cpu, u64 mask, u64 bits)
{
	struct msr_action ma = {
		.msr = msr,
		.mask = mask,
		.bits = bits,
	};
	int ret;

	ret = smp_call_function_single(cpu, msr_update_func, &ma, 1);
	if (!ret)
		ret = ma.ret;

	return ret;
}
