x86/sev: Remove duplicated assignment to variable info

Variable info is being assigned the same value twice, remove the
redundant assignment. Also assign variable v in the declaration.

Cleans up clang scan warning:
  warning: Value stored to 'info' during its initialization is never read [deadcode.DeadStores]

No code changed:

  [ bp: Running the before/after check on sev.c because sev-shared.c
    gets included into it. ]
