x86/sev-es: Allow copy_from_kernel_nofault() in earlier boot

Previously, if copy_from_kernel_nofault() was called before
boot_cpu_data.x86_virt_bits was set up, then it would trigger undefined
behavior due to a shift by 64.

This ended up causing boot failures in the latest version of ubuntu2204
in the gcp project when using SEV-SNP.

Specifically, this function is called during an early #VC handler which
is triggered by a CPUID to check if NX is implemented.
