[RFC 02/48] RISC-V: KVM: Improve KVM error reporting to the user space

This patch adds RISC-V specific cause for ioctl run failure.
For now, it will be used for the below two cases:

1. Insufficient IMSIC files if VM is configured to run in HWACCEL mode
2. TSM is unable to run run_vcpu SBI call for TVMs

KVM also uses a custom scause bit(48) to distinguish this case
from regular vcpu exit causes.
