Subject: [PATCH] KVM: SEV: Unmap and unpin the GHCB as needed on vCPU free

Unmap and unpin the GHCB as needed when freeing a vCPU.  If the VM is
destroyed after mapping+pinning the GHCB on #VMGEXIT, without re-running
the vCPU, KVM will effectively leak the GHCB and any mappings created for
the GHCB.
