KVM: SVM: Don't change target vCPU state on AP Creation VMGEXIT error

If KVM rejects an AP Creation event, leave the target vCPU state as-is.
Nothing in the GHCB suggests the hypervisor is *allowed* to muck with vCPU
state on failure, let alone required to do so.  Furthermore, kicking only
in the !ON_INIT case leads to divergent behavior, and even the "kick" case
is non-deterministic.

E.g. if an ON_INIT request fails, the guest can successfully retry if the
fixed AP Creation request is made prior to sending INIT.  And if a !ON_INIT
fails, the guest can successfully retry if the fixed AP Creation request is
handled before the target vCPU processes KVM's
KVM_REQ_UPDATE_PROTECTED_GUEST_STATE.
