Some error paths in the MSR state loading logic don't contain error messages,
which makes debugging them quite hard without adding extra patches to print the
information.

Add two new log messages to the MSR state load path that print information
about the entry that failed to load, for both PV and HVM.

While there also adjust XEN_DOMCTL_set_vcpu_msrs to return -ENXIO in case the
MSR is unhandled or can't be loaded, so it matches the error code used by HVM
MSR loading (and it's less ambiguous than -EINVAL).

Changes since v1:
 - Add messages to PV MSR loading.
 - Return -ENXIO from PV loading path also.
 - Do not print the return code from guest_wrmsr(), it's not specially helpful
   given the current logic, as it will always be X86EMUL_EXCEPTION in case of
   failure.

I'm not fully convinced of the need to change the error code, but I also don't
mind it.
