x86/HVM: don't crash guest in hvmemul_find_mmio_cache()

Commit 35a61c05ea ("x86emul: adjust handling of AVX2 gathers") builds
upon the fact that the domain will actually survive running out of MMIO
result buffer space. Drop the domain_crash() invocation. Also delay
incrementing of the usage counter, such that the function can't possibly
use/return an out-of-bounds slot/pointer in case execution subsequently
makes it into the function again without a prior reset of state.
