6.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>

[ Upstream commit 42a39ad5d592aec87a70527a4e694f6210694482 ]

Track the GPA of the guest-provided VMSA used after AP_CREATION events when
running SNP guests, instead of simply tracking whether or not the vCPU is
using a guest-provided VMSA.  KVM needs to know the GPA of the VMSA that's
actively being used so that it can react to MMU invalidation events, i.e.
so that KVM can drop the VMSA if its backing guest_memfd page is punched
out of existence.

Opportunistically rename snp_vmsa_gpa to clarify that it tracks the pending
VMSA GPA, whereas snp_guest_vmsa_gpa now tracks the in-use VMSA GPA.

Note!  Take care to track the GPA, not the GFN, as VALID_PAGE() won't
behave correctly if an invalid GFN is converted to a GPA for checking.

Note #2!  Keep snp_has_guest_vmsa so that switching to a guest-provided
VMSA is sticky, even if the guest-provided VMSA becomes invalid.

No functional change intended.
