Subject: [PATCH] KVM: SNP: Fix LBR Virtualization for SNP guest

SEV-ES and thus SNP guest mandates LBR Virtualization to be _always_ ON.
Although commit b7e4be0a224f ("KVM: SEV-ES: Delegate LBR virtualization
to the processor") did the correct change for SEV-ES guests, it missed
the SNP. Fix it.

Reported-by: Srikanth Aithal <sraithal@....com>
Fixes: b7e4be0a224f ("KVM: SEV-ES: Delegate LBR virtualization to the processor")

- SNP support was not present while I prepared the original patches and
  that lead to this confusion. Sorry about that.
