Ah, I thought you were saying bail early from kvm_vcpu_reset().  I agree that not
having completely split logic would be ideal.  What about this?

	/*
	 * VMCB is undefined after a SHUTDOWN intercept.  INIT the vCPU to put
	 * the VMCB in a known good state.  Unfortuately, KVM doesn't have
	 * KVM_MP_STATE_SHUTDOWN and can't add it without potentially breaking
	 * userspace.  At a platform view, INIT is acceptable behavior as
	 * there exist bare metal platforms that automatically INIT the CPU
	 * in response to shutdown.
	 *
	 * The VM save area for SEV-ES guests has already been encrypted so it
	 * cannot be reinitialized, i.e. synthesizing INIT is futile.
	 */
	if (!sev_es_guest(vcpu->kvm)) {
		clear_page(svm->vmcb);
		kvm_vcpu_reset(vcpu, true);
	}

	kvm_run->exit_reason = KVM_EXIT_SHUTDOWN;
	return 0;
