KVM: SVM: Provide support for SEV-ES vCPU loading



An SEV-ES vCPU requires additional VMCB vCPU load/put requirements. SEV-ES
hardware will restore certain registers on VMEXIT, but not save them on
VMRUN (see Table B-3 and Table B-4 of the AMD64 APM Volume 2), so make the
following changes:

General vCPU load changes:
  - During vCPU loading, perform a VMSAVE to the per-CPU SVM save area and
    save the current values of XCR0, XSS and PKRU to the per-CPU SVM save
    area as these registers will be restored on VMEXIT.

General vCPU put changes:
  - Do not attempt to restore registers that SEV-ES hardware has already
    restored on VMEXIT.
