[PATCH v3 1/3] KVM: SEV-ES: Prevent MSR access post VMSA encryption

From: Nikunj A Dadhania <nikunj@amd.com>

KVM currently allows userspace to read/write MSRs even after the VMSA is
encrypted. This can cause unintentional issues if MSR access has side-
effects. For ex, while migrating a guest, userspace could attempt to
migrate MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR and end up unintentionally disabling LBRV on
the target. Fix this by preventing access to those MSRs which are context
switched via the VMSA, once the VMSA is encrypted.
