KVM: SEV: snapshot the GHCB before accessing it



Validation of the GHCB is susceptible to time-of-check/time-of-use vulnerabilities.
To avoid them, we would like to always snapshot the fields that are read in
sev_es_validate_vmgexit(), and not use the GHCB anymore after it returns.

This means:

- invoking sev_es_sync_from_ghcb() before any GHCB access, including before
  sev_es_validate_vmgexit()

- snapshotting all fields including the valid bitmap and the sw_scratch field,
  which are currently not caching anywhere.

The valid bitmap is the first thing to be copied out of the GHCB; then,
further accesses will use the copy in svm->sev_es.
