Subject: [PATCH 5.12 071/127] x86/sev-es: Dont return NULL from sev_es_get_ghcb()

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@...e.de>

commit b250f2f7792d15bcde98e0456781e2835556d5fa upstream.

sev_es_get_ghcb() is called from several places but only one of them
checks the return value. The reaction to returning NULL is always the
same: calling panic() and kill the machine.

Instead of adding checks to all call sites, move the panic() into the
function itself so that it will no longer return NULL.
