x86/sev: Add per-node RMPOPT windows for >2TB systems
This commit selects a per-NUMA-node 2 TB RMPOPT_BASE window using a
sliding-window search and warms each node's window in parallel on systems
with more than 2 TB of RAM.

[Severity: Medium]
Does rmpopt_gb_to_node(0) always return NUMA_NO_NODE on x86?
trim_bios_range() reserves page 0 as E820_TYPE_RESERVED before memblock
setup, so min_low_pfn and node_start_pfn(0) are at least 1, while gb = 0
has pfn = 0. On systems with more than 2 TB of RAM, gb = 0 is treated as
unpopulated with distance RMPOPT_EMPTY_DISTANCE (255), so when
rmpopt_find_best_window(0) slides base_gb from 0 to 1 it drops gb = 0
without reducing own and lowers dist, shifting Node 0's RMPOPT_BASE to at
least 1 GB and leaving [0, 1 GB) unoptimized. Checking for range overlap
between [pfn, pfn + (SZ_1G >> PAGE_SHIFT)) and [node_start_pfn(nid),
node_end_pfn(nid)) would also handle other nodes whose start PFN is not
1 GB-aligned.

[Severity: Medium]
What happens if a NUMA node is offline during rmpopt_init() and is brought
online later (for example via CXL memory or CPU hotplug)?
rmpopt_init() only calls INIT_WORK() for nodes already online at init time,
leaving rmpopt_node_work[nid] zero-initialized for offline nodes. When
do_rmpopt_work() later iterates for_each_online_node(nid) on a >2TB system,
flush_work(&rmpopt_node_work[nid]) hits WARN_ON(!work->func) in
__flush_work(), and schedule_work_on() queues an uninitialized work_struct
if the node also has online CPUs. Initializing across
for_each_possible_node(nid) avoids this.
