KVM: SEV: Mark vCPU RUNNABLE after AP_CREATE, even if VMSA is unusable

Browse source

Always mark the vCPU as RUNNABLE after responding to AP_CREATE, even if the
guest-specified VMSA is unusable, e.g. isn't backed by a memslot or doesn't
have a backing guest_memfd page.  If the VMSA is unusable, leaving the vCPU
in a non-running state will effectively hang the vCPU instead of reporting
an error to userspace.  This will also allow retrying the VMSA load in the
future, to fix a bug where KVM doesn't honor guest_memfd invalidation
events, e.g. if AP_CREATION races with PUNCH_HOLE.
