It's tempting to say the ghcb_set_*() helpers should guard against this, but
that would add a lot of pollution and the vast majority of uses are very clearly
in the vmgexit path.  svm_complete_emulated_msr() is the only other case that
is non-obvious; would it make sense to sanity check svm->ghcb there as well?
