x86/sev: Reduce #VC nesting for intercepted CPUID for SEV-SNP guest, to fix nesting crash

For certain intercepts an SNP guest uses the GHCB protocol to talk to
the hypervisor from the #VC handler. The protocol requires a shared page so
there is one per vCPU. In case NMI arrives in a middle of #VC or the NMI
handler triggers a #VC, there is another "backup" GHCB page which stores
the content of the first one while SVM_VMGEXIT_NMI_COMPLETE is sent.
The vc_raw_handle_exception() handler manages main and backup GHCB pages
via __sev_get_ghcb/__sev_put_ghcb.

This works fine for #VC and occasional NMIs. This does not work so fine if
the #VC handler causes intercept + another #VC, if NMI arrives during
the second #VC, there are no more pages for SVM_VMGEXIT_NMI_COMPLETE.
The problem place is the #VC CPUID handler. Running perf in the SNP guest
crashes with:

  Kernel panic - not syncing: Unable to handle #VC exception! GHCB and Backup GHCB are already in use

  vc_raw_handle_exception #1: exit_code 72 (CPUID) eax d ecx 1

We lock the main GHCB and while it is locked we get to
snp_cpuid_postprocess() which executes "rdmsr" of MSR_IA32_XSS==0xda0 which
triggers:

  vc_raw_handle_exception #2: exit_code 7c (MSR) ecx da0

Here we lock the backup ghcb.

And then PMC NMI comes which cannot complete as there is no GHCB page left
to use:

Add a helper similar to rdmsr_safe() for making a direct hypercall in the SEV-ES
environment. Use the new helper instead of the raw "rdmsr" to avoid the extra
 #VC event.
