...and return KVM_MSR_RET_INVALID otherwise.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the SVACE
static analysis tool.

Fixes: cd28325249a1 ("KVM: VMX: support MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES as a feature MSR")

This is unnecessary and would arguably break KVM's ABI.  KVM unconditionally emulates
MSR_IA32_UCODE_REV in software and rdmsrl_safe() zeros the result on a fault (see
ex_handler_msr()).  '0' is a legitimate ucode revid and a reasonable fallback for
a theoretical (virtual) CPU that doesn't support the MSR.

I see, thanks for the explanation!
