Subject: x86/vLAPIC: prevent undue recursion of vlapic_error()

With the error vector set to an illegal value, the function invoking
vlapic_set_irq() would bring execution back here, with the non-recursive
lock already held. Avoid the call in this case, merely further updating
ESR (if necessary).

This is XSA-462.
