Subject: [PATCH v4 11/14] x86/sev: Prevent RDTSC/RDTSCP interception for Secure TSC enabled guests

The hypervisor should not be intercepting RDTSC/RDTSCP when Secure TSC
is enabled. A #VC exception will be generated if the RDTSC/RDTSCP
instructions are being intercepted. If this should occur and Secure
TSC is enabled, terminate guest execution.
