KVM: SVM: Update EFER software model on CR0 trap for SEV-ES
In general, activating long mode involves setting the EFER_LME bit in the EFER register and then enabling the X86_CR0_PG bit in the CR0 register. At this point, the EFER_LMA bit will be set automatically by hardware. In the case of SVM/SEV guests where writes to CR0 are intercepted, it's necessary for the host to set EFER_LMA on behalf of the guest since hardware does not see the actual CR0 write. In the case of SEV-ES guests where writes to CR0 are trapped instead of intercepted, the hardware *does* see/record the write to CR0 before exiting and passing the value on to the host, so as part of enabling SEV-ES support commit f1c6366e3043 ("KVM: SVM: Add required changes to support intercepts under SEV-ES") dropped special handling of the EFER_LMA bit with the understanding that it would be set automatically. However, since the guest never explicitly sets the EFER_LMA bit, the host never becomes aware that it has been set. This becomes problematic when userspace tries to get/set the EFER values via KVM_GET_SREGS/KVM_SET_SREGS, since the EFER contents tracked by the host will be missing the EFER_LMA bit, and when userspace attempts to pass the EFER value back via KVM_SET_SREGS it will fail a sanity check that asserts that EFER_LMA should always be set when X86_CR0_PG and EFER_LME are set. Fix this by always inferring the value of EFER_LMA based on X86_CR0_PG and EFER_LME, regardless of whether or not SEV-ES is enabled.
