Blech, didn't look close enough at v1. I think I'd rather yell and continue on.
If misc_cg_set_capacity() were to fail, debugging would be unnecessarily painful,
and at least as things stand today, there's nothing userspace can do to remedy
the problem except by manually disabling SEV and/or SEV-ES.

Subject: [PATCH] KVM: SVM: WARN, but continue, if misc_cg_set_capacity() fails

WARN and continue if misc_cg_set_capacity() fails, as the only scenario
in which it can fail is if the specified resource is invalid, which should
never happen when CONFIG_KVM_AMD_SEV=y. Deliberately not bailing "fixes"
a theoretical bug where KVM would leak the ASID bitmaps on failure, which
again can't happen.

If the impossible should happen, the end result is effectively the same
with respect to SEV and SEV-ES (they are unusable), while continuing on
has the advantage of letting KVM load, i.e. userspace can still run
non-SEV guests.
