VMX: correct error handling in vmx_create_vmcs()

With the addition of vmx_add_msr() calls to construct_vmcs() there are
now cases where simply freeing the VMCS isn't enough: The MSR bitmap
page as well as one of the MSR area ones (if it's the 2nd vmx_add_msr()
which fails) may also need freeing. Switch to using vmx_destroy_vmcs()
instead.
