[PATCH v2 1/4] x86/efistub: Obtain SEV CC blob address from the stub

The x86 EFI stub no longer boots via the traditional decompressor but
jumps straight to the core kernel, avoiding all the page fault handling
and other complexity that is entirely unnecessary when booting via EFI.

The SEV startup code expects the address of the CC blob configuration
table in boot_params, so store it there when booting with SEV-SNP
enabled. This removes a dependency on the later call to sev_enable()
(which is going to be removed), and permits the EFI stub to fail
gracefully inside the guest rather than terminate it entirely.
