KVM: SVM: include CR3 in initial VMSA state for SEV-ES guests



Normally guests will set up CR3 themselves, but some guests, such as
kselftests, and potentially CONFIG_PVH guests, rely on being booted
with paging enabled and CR3 initialized to a pre-allocated page table.

Currently CR3 updates via KVM_SET_SREGS* are not loaded into the guest
VMCB until just prior to entering the guest. For SEV-ES/SEV-SNP, this
is too late, since it will have switched over to using the VMSA page
prior to that point, with the VMSA CR3 copied from the VMCB initial
CR3 value: 0.

Address this by sync'ing the CR3 value into the VMCB save area
immediately when KVM_SET_SREGS* is issued so it will find it's way into
the initial VMSA.
