Subject: [PATCH] x86/kernel: Validate ROM before DMI scanning when SEV-SNP is active

SEV-SNP requires encrypted memory to be validated before access. The
kernel is responsible for validating the ROM memory range because the
range is not part of the e820 table and therefore not pre-validated by
the BIOS.

While the current SEV-SNP code attempts to validate the ROM range in
probe_roms(), this does not suffice for all existing use cases. In
particular, if EFI_CONFIG_TABLES are not enabled and
CONFIG_DMI_SCAN_MACHINE_NON_EFI_FALLBACK is set, the kernel will
attempt to access the memory at SMBIOS_ENTRY_POINT_SCAN_START (which
falls in the ROM range) prior to validation. The specific problematic
call chain occurs during dmi_setup() -> dmi_scan_machine() and results
in a crash during boot if SEV-SNP is enabled under these conditions.

This commit thus provides the simple solution of moving the ROM range
validation from probe_roms() to before dmi_setup(), such that a SEV-SNP
guest satisfying the above use case now successfully boots.
