Subject: [PATCH v2] virt/coco/sev-guest: Remove err in handle_guest_request

The err variable may not be set in the call to snp_issue_guest_request,
yet it is unconditionally written back to fw_err if fw_err is non-null.
This is undefined behavior, and currently returns uninitialized kernel
stack memory to user space.

The fw_err argument is better to just pass through to
snp_issue_guest_request, so we do that.
