Subject: [RFT PATCH v3 07/21] x86/sev: Move MSR save/restore out of early page
 state change helper

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@...nel.org>

The function __page_state_change() in the decompressor is very similar
to the loop in early_set_pages_state(), and they can share this code
once the MSR save/restore is moved out.

This also avoids doing the preserve/restore for each page in a longer
sequence unnecessarily.

This simplifies subsequent changes, where the APIs used by
__page_state_change() are modified for better separation between startup
code and ordinary code.
