Subject: [PATCH kernel v3] x86/compressed/64: reduce #VC nesting for intercepted CPUID for SEV-SNP guest

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 but not so fine when 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 which reads an MSR which
triggers another #VC and if "perf" was running, panic happens:

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

Add a helper similar to native_read_msr_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.

Fixes: ee0bfa08a345 ("x86/compressed/64: Add support for SEV-SNP CPUID table in #VC handlers")

Based on:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bp/bp.git/log/?h=tip-x86-urgent
which top at the time was:
62d5e970d022 "x86/sev: Change npages to unsigned long in snp_accept_memory()"

---
Changes:
v3:
* made it a function, mimic native_read_msr_safe() which 1) returns value 2) returns an error
* removed debug backtraces the commit log as these were added for debugging and never
appear with actual kernels


v2:
* de-uglify by defining rdmsr_safe_GHCB()
