Subject: [PATCH] KVM: SEV: Fix uninitialized firmware error code

The current code triggers a clang warning due to passing back an
uninitialized firmware return code in cases where an attestation request
is aborted before getting sent to userspace. Since firmware has not been
involved at this point the appropriate value is 0.

Reported-by: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@...nel.org>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20240513151920.GA3061950@thelio-3990X/
Fixes: 32fde9e18b3f ("KVM: SEV: Provide support for SNP_EXTENDED_GUEST_REQUEST NAE event")
