[PATCH] virt: sev-guest: Mark driver struct with __refdata to prevent section mismatch

As described in the added code comment, a reference to .exit.text is ok
for drivers registered via module_platform_driver_probe(). Make this
explicit to prevent the following section mismatch warning

WARNING: modpost: drivers/virt/coco/sev-guest/sev-guest: section mismatch in reference: sev_guest_driver+0x10 (section: .data) -> sev_guest_remove (section: .exit.text)

that triggers on an allmodconfig W=1 build.
