KVM: Fix load_guest_segment_descriptor() to inject page fault

This patch injects page fault when reading descriptor in
load_guest_segment_descriptor() fails with FAULT.

Effects of this injection: This function is used by
kvm_load_segment_descriptor() which is necessary for the
following instructions:

 - mov seg,r/m16
 - jmp far
 - pop ?s

This patch makes it possible to emulate the page faults
generated by these instructions. But be sure that unless
we change the kvm_load_segment_descriptor()'s ret value
propagation this patch has no effect.
