x86/hyperv: Block root partition functionality in a Confidential VM



Hyper-V should never specify a VM that is a Confidential VM and also
running in the root partition.  Nonetheless, explicitly block such a
combination to guard against a compromised Hyper-V maliciously trying to
exploit root partition functionality in a Confidential VM to expose
Confidential VM secrets. No known bug is being fixed, but the attack
surface for Confidential VMs on Hyper-V is reduced.
