There are certain condition in which H_PROTECT can return error code
other than H_NOT_FOUND and H_SUCCESS. One such being an attempt to
update an hpte owned by adjunct partition. Return 0 in that case so
that user space will retry the access. In adjunct case this mean we
will not make much progress in the user space. But atleast we get a
chance to kill the task and avoid taking down the entire box.
