KVM: SEV: Make AVIC backing, VMSA and VMCB memory allocation SNP safe
Implement a workaround for an SNP erratum where the CPU will incorrectly signal an RMP violation #PF if a hugepage (2MB or 1GB) collides with the RMP entry of a VMCB, VMSA or AVIC backing page. When SEV-SNP is globally enabled, the CPU marks the VMCB, VMSA, and AVIC backing pages as "in-use" via a reserved bit in the corresponding RMP entry after a successful VMRUN. This is done for _all_ VMs, not just SNP-Active VMs. If the hypervisor accesses an in-use page through a writable translation, the CPU will throw an RMP violation #PF. On early SNP hardware, if an in-use page is 2MB-aligned and software accesses any part of the associated 2MB region with a hugepage, the CPU will incorrectly treat the entire 2MB region as in-use and signal a an RMP violation #PF. To avoid this, the recommendation is to not use a 2MB-aligned page for the VMCB, VMSA or AVIC pages. Add a generic allocator that will ensure that the page returned is not 2MB-aligned and is safe to be used when SEV-SNP is enabled. Also implement similar handling for the VMCB/VMSA pages of nested guests.
