nested_svm_vmrun() no longer needs a return value, it just needs to return
early. But making it 'void' just to change it to 'int' in the next patch
is a bit gratuitous, so what about changing it to return an 'int' in this
patch?

That'd also eliminate the funky

if (!nested_svm_vmrun(svm))
return 1;

return 1;

chunk in vmrun_interception() that temporarily exists until patch 7/7.
