Because user space can reach those hooks with KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS, we shouldn't
add WARN_ON_ONCE().  There are two choices.  Ignore the request (the current
choice) or return error for unsupported request.

It's troublesome to allow error for them because we have to fix up the caller
up to the user space.  The user space may abort on such error without fix.
