Subject: [RFC PATCH v6 31/32] x86/sev: Prevent SECURE_AVIC_CONTROL MSR interception for Secure AVIC guests

The SECURE_AVIC_CONTROL MSR holds the GPA of the guest APIC backing
page and bitfields to control enablement of Secure AVIC and NMI by
guest vCPUs. This MSR is populated by the guest and the hypervisor
should not intercept it. A #VC exception will be generated otherwise.
If this occurs and Secure AVIC is enabled, terminate guest execution.
