Subject: [PATCH] KVM: SEV: Extract loading of guest-provided VMSA to a
 separate helper

Extract the loading/retrieval of a guest-provided VMSA to a separate helper
so that KVM can reuse the core logic when refreshing the VMSA after an MMU
invalidation from guest_memfd.

No functional change intended.
