[RESEND PATCH v2] KVM: x86: Update KVM_GET_CPUID2 to return valid entry count

[Takahiro Itazuri]

Modify the KVM_GET_CPUID2 API to return the number of valid entries in
nent field of kvm_cpuid2 even on success.

Previously, the KVM_GET_CPUID2 API only updated the nent field when an
error was returned. If the API was called with an entry count larger
than necessary (e.g., KVM_MAX_CPUID_ENTRIES), it would succeed, but the
nent field would continue to show a value larger than the actual number
of entries filled by the KVM_GET_CPUID2 API. With this change, users can
rely on the updated nent field and there is no need to traverse
unnecessary entries and check whether an entry is valid or not.
