Subject: [PATCH v7 4/5] x86/kvm: use __decrypted attribute in shared variables

The recent removal of the memblock dependency from kvmclock caused a SEV
guest regression because the wall_clock and hv_clock_boot variables are
no longer mapped decrypted when SEV is active.

Use the __decrypted attribute to put the wall_clock and hv_clock_boot in
the .data..decrypted section so that they are mapped decrypted during boot.
