Subject: [PATCH] KVM: SVM: Do not allow SEV/SEV-ES initialization after vCPUs
are created
Reject KVM_SEV_INIT and KVM_SEV_ES_INIT if they are attempted after one or more vCPUs have been created. KVM assumes a VM is tagged SEV/SEV-ES prior to vCPU creation, e.g. init_vmcb() needs to mark the VMCB as SEV enabled, and svm_create_vcpu() needs to allocate the VMSA. At best, creating vCPUs before SEV/SEV-ES init will lead to unexpected errors and/or behavior, and at worst it will crash the host, e.g. sev_launch_update_vmsa() will dereference a null svm->vmsa pointer.
