x86/sev: Allow for use of the early boot GHCB for PSC requests

Browse source

Using a GHCB for a page stage change (as opposed to the MSR protocol)
allows for multiple pages to be processed in a single request. In prep
for early PSC requests in support of unaccepted memory, update the
invocation of vmgexit_psc() to be able to use the early boot GHCB and not
just the per-CPU GHCB structure.

In order to use the proper GHCB (early boot vs per-CPU), set a flag that
indicates when the per-CPU GHCBs are available and registered. For APs,
the per-CPU GHCBs are created before they are started and registered upon
startup, so this flag can be used globally for the BSP and APs instead of
creating a per-CPU flag. This will allow for a significant reduction in
the number of MSR protocol page state change requests when accepting
memory.
