x86/mm: Handle decryption/re-encryption of bss_decrypted consistently

sme_postprocess_startup() decrypts the bss_decrypted section when
sme_me_mask is non-zero.

mem_encrypt_free_decrypted_mem() re-encrypts the unused portion based
on CC_ATTR_MEM_ENCRYPT.

In a Hyper-V guest VM using vTOM, these conditions are not equivalent
as sme_me_mask is always zero when using vTOM. Consequently,
mem_encrypt_free_decrypted_mem() attempts to re-encrypt memory that was
never decrypted.

So check sme_me_mask in mem_encrypt_free_decrypted_mem() too.

Hyper-V guests using vTOM don't need the bss_decrypted section to be
decrypted, so skipping the decryption/re-encryption doesn't cause a
problem.
