This patch fixes issues with enabling SNP host support and effectively
SNP support which is broken with respect to the KVM module being
built-in.

SNP host support is enabled in snp_rmptable_init() which is invoked as a
device_initcall(). Here device_initcall() is used as snp_rmptable_init()
expects AMD IOMMU SNP support to be enabled prior to it and the AMD
IOMMU driver enables SNP support after PCI bus enumeration.

Now, if kvm_amd module is built-in, it gets initialized before SNP host
support is enabled in snp_rmptable_init() :

[ 10.131811] kvm_amd: TSC scaling supported
[ 10.136384] kvm_amd: Nested Virtualization enabled
[ 10.141734] kvm_amd: Nested Paging enabled
[ 10.146304] kvm_amd: LBR virtualization supported
[ 10.151557] kvm_amd: SEV enabled (ASIDs 100 - 509)
[ 10.156905] kvm_amd: SEV-ES enabled (ASIDs 1 - 99)
[ 10.162256] kvm_amd: SEV-SNP enabled (ASIDs 1 - 99)
[ 10.171508] kvm_amd: Virtual VMLOAD VMSAVE supported
[ 10.177052] kvm_amd: Virtual GIF supported
...
...
[ 10.201648] kvm_amd: in svm_enable_virtualization_cpu

And then svm_x86_ops->enable_virtualization_cpu()
(svm_enable_virtualization_cpu) programs MSR_VM_HSAVE_PA as following:
wrmsrl(MSR_VM_HSAVE_PA, sd->save_area_pa);

So VM_HSAVE_PA is non-zero before SNP support is enabled on all CPUs.

snp_rmptable_init() gets invoked after svm_enable_virtualization_cpu()
as following :
...
[ 11.256138] kvm_amd: in svm_enable_virtualization_cpu
...
[ 11.264918] SEV-SNP: in snp_rmptable_init

This triggers a #GP exception in snp_rmptable_init() when snp_enable()
is invoked to set SNP_EN in SYSCFG MSR:

[ 11.294289] unchecked MSR access error: WRMSR to 0xc0010010 (tried to write 0x0000000003fc0000) at rIP: 0xffffffffaf5d5c28 (native_write_msr+0x8/0x30)

This #GP exception is getting triggered due to the following errata for
AMD family 19h Models 10h-1Fh Processors:

Processor may generate spurious #GP(0) Exception on WRMSR instruction:
Description:
The Processor will generate a spurious #GP(0) Exception on a WRMSR
instruction if the following conditions are all met:
- the target of the WRMSR is a SYSCFG register.
- the write changes the value of SYSCFG.SNPEn from 0 to 1.
- One of the threads that share the physical core has a non-zero
value in the VM_HSAVE_PA MSR.

The document being referred to above:
https://www.amd.com/content/dam/amd/en/documents/processor-tech-docs/revision-guides/57095-PUB_1_01.pdf

To summarize, with kvm_amd module being built-in, KVM/SVM initialization
happens before host SNP is enabled and this SVM initialization
sets VM_HSAVE_PA to non-zero, which then triggers a #GP when
SYSCFG.SNPEn is being set and this will subsequently cause
SNP_INIT(_EX) to fail with INVALID_CONFIG error as SYSCFG[SnpEn] is not
set on all CPUs.

This patch fixes the current SNP host enabling code and effectively SNP
which is broken with respect to the KVM module being built-in.

Essentially SNP host enabling code should be invoked before KVM
initialization, which is currently not the case when KVM is built-in.

With the AMD IOMMU driver patch applied which moves SNP enable check
before enabling IOMMUs, snp_rmptable_init() can now be called early
with subsys_initcall() which enables SNP host support before KVM
initialization with kvm_amd module built-in.
