Darrick J. Wong 967060d00d x86, msr: fix NULL pointer deref due to msr_open on nonexistent CPUs
msr_open tests for someone trying to open a device for a nonexistent CPU.
However, the function always returns 0, not ret like it should, hence
userspace can BUG the kernel trivially.  This bug was introduced by the
cdev lock_kernel pushdown patch last May.

The BUG can be reproduced with these commands:

# mknod fubar c 202 8 <-- pick a number less than NR_CPUS that is not
                          the number of an online CPU
# cat fubar
