Subject: [PATCH 2/2] KVM: SEV: Flush cache on non-coherent systems before RECEIVE_UPDATE_DATA

From: Masahiro Kozuka <masa.koz@...uka.jp>

Flush the destination page before invoking RECEIVE_UPDATE_DATA, as the
PSP encrypts the data with the guest's key when writing to guest memory.
If the target memory was not previously encrypted, the cache may contain
dirty, unecrypted data that will persist on non-coherent systems.
