x86/sev: Make the VMPL0 checking more straight forward

Currently, the enforce_vmpl0() function uses a set argument when modifying
the VMPL1 permissions used to test for VMPL0. If the guest is not running
at VMPL0, the guest self-terminates.

The function is just a wrapper for a fixed RMPADJUST function. Eliminate
the function and perform the RMPADJUST directly.

No functional change.
