[PATCH v3 2/5] KVM: arm64: Don't write to Rt unless sys_reg emulation succeeds

emulate_sys_reg() returns 1 unconditionally, even though a a system
register access can fail. Furthermore, kvm_handle_sys_reg() writes to Rt
for every register read, regardless of if it actually succeeded.

Though this pattern is safe (as params.regval is initialized with the
current value of Rt) it is a bit ugly. Indicate failure if the register
access could not be emulated and only write to Rt on success.
