Subject: [PATCH 5/6] KVM: SEV: Drop a redundant setting of sev->asid during initialization

Remove a fully redundant write to sev->asid during SEV/SEV-ES guest
initialization.  The ASID is set a few lines earlier prior to the call to
sev_platform_init(), which doesn't take "sev" as a param, i.e. can't
muck with the ASID barring some truly magical behind-the-scenes code.

No functional change intended.
