[PATCH v2 3/3] KVM: x86/emulator: Move the unhandled outer privilege level logic of far return into __load_segment_descriptor()

[Hou Wenlong]

Outer-privilege level return is not implemented in emulator,
move the unhandled logic into __load_segment_descriptor to
make it easier to understand why the checks for RET are
incomplete.
