[RFT PATCH v3 11/21] x86/boot: Drop redundant RMPADJUST in SEV SVSM presence check

[Ard Biesheuvel <ardb+git@google.com>]

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>

snp_vmpl will be assigned a non-zero value when executing at a VMPL
other than 0, and this is inferred from a call to RMPADJUST, which only
works when running at VMPL0.

This means that testing snp_vmpl is sufficient, and there is no need to
perform the same check again.
