KVM: SEV: Support SEV-SNP AP Creation NAE event



Add support for the SEV-SNP AP Creation NAE event. This allows SEV-SNP
guests to alter the register state of the APs on their own. This allows
the guest a way of simulating INIT-SIPI.

A new event, KVM_REQ_UPDATE_PROTECTED_GUEST_STATE, is created and used
so as to avoid updating the VMSA pointer while the vCPU is running.

For CREATE
  The guest supplies the GPA of the VMSA to be used for the vCPU with
  the specified APIC ID. The GPA is saved in the svm struct of the
  target vCPU, the KVM_REQ_UPDATE_PROTECTED_GUEST_STATE event is added
  to the vCPU and then the vCPU is kicked.

For CREATE_ON_INIT:
  The guest supplies the GPA of the VMSA to be used for the vCPU with
  the specified APIC ID the next time an INIT is performed. The GPA is
  saved in the svm struct of the target vCPU.

For DESTROY:
  The guest indicates it wishes to stop the vCPU. The GPA is cleared
  from the svm struct, the KVM_REQ_UPDATE_PROTECTED_GUEST_STATE event is
  added to vCPU and then the vCPU is kicked.

The KVM_REQ_UPDATE_PROTECTED_GUEST_STATE event handler will be invoked
as a result of the event or as a result of an INIT. If a new VMSA is to
be installed, the VMSA guest page is set as the VMSA in the vCPU VMCB
and the vCPU state is set to KVM_MP_STATE_RUNNABLE. If a new VMSA is not
to be installed, the VMSA is cleared in the vCPU VMCB and the vCPU state
is set to KVM_MP_STATE_HALTED to prevent it from being run.
