More accurate to say that you will wipe the VMPCK, since the value of rc
is checked a bit further down in the code and the -EIO (or other non-zero)
will be result in a call to snp_disable_vmpck() and rc being propagated
back to the user as an ioctl() return code.

Might be worth a comment above that second snp_issue_guest_request()
explaining that.

I think it's ok to set it no matter what, but I don't have a strong
opinion either way.

Thanks,
