Subject: [PATCH] x86/sev: Return an error on a returned non-zero SW_EXITINFO1[31:0]

After returning from a VMGEXIT NAE event, SW_EXITINFO1[31:0] is checked
for a value of 1, which indicates an error and that SW_EXITINFO2 contains
exception information. However, future versions of the GHCB specification
may define new values for SW_EXITINFO1[31:0], so really any non-zero value
should be treated as an error.

Fixes: 597cfe48212a ("x86/boot/compressed/64: Setup a GHCB-based VC Exception handler")
