Subject: [PATCH] x86/kvm: Override default caching mode for SEV-SNP and TDX

AMD SEV-SNP and Intel TDX have limited access to MTRR: either it is not
advertised in CPUID or it cannot be programmed (on TDX, due to #VE on
CR0.CD clear).

This results in guests using uncached mappings where it shouldn't and
pmd/pud_set_huge() failures due to non-uniform memory type reported by
mtrr_type_lookup().

Override MTRR state, making it WB by default as the kernel does for
Hyper-V guests.
