Subject: [PATCH 5.16 050/200] KVM: SVM: Dont intercept #GP for SEV guests

From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@...gle.com>

commit 0b0be065b7563ac708aaa9f69dd4941c80b3446d upstream.

Never intercept #GP for SEV guests as reading SEV guest private memory
will return cyphertext, i.e. emulating on #GP can't work as intended.
