x86/sev: Add guest support for Enhanced SMT Protection

This commit adds guest support for Enhanced SMT Protection (ESMTP). It
populates the VMSA with the vCPU's identity and sets the SMT sibling
mask before the page is turned into a VMSA so that threads of the same
guest trust each other.

[Severity: Low]
Does tools/arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h also need to be updated to
stay in sync with this change?

This out-of-sync tools header will cause build warnings indicating that
the kernel ABI header differs from the latest version, because it lacks
the new ESMT_PROT and RESERVED_BITS20_22 macros.
