x86/sev: Make SEV_STATUS available via SYSFS

Current user-space tooling which needs access to the SEV_STATUS MSR is
using the MSR module. The use of this module poses a security risk in
any trusted execution environment and is generally discouraged.

Instead, provide an file in SYSFS in the already existing
/sys/devices/system/cpu/sev/ directory to provide the value of the
SEV_STATUS MSR to user-space.
