  The guest request synchronous API from SEV-SNP VMs to the host's security
processor consumes a global resource. For this reason, AMD's docs
recommend that the host implements a throttling mechanism. In order for
the guest to know it's been throttled and should try its request again,
we need some good-faith communication from the host that the request
has been throttled.

These patches work with the existing /dev/sev-guest ABI to detect a
throttling code.

Changes from v2:
  * Codified the non-firmware-call firmware error code as (u32)-1.
  * Changed sev_issue_guest_request unsigned long *fw_err argument to
    u64 *exitinfo2 to more accurately and type-safely describe the
    value that it outputs.
  * Changed sev_issue_guest_request to always set its exitinfo2
    argument to either the non-firmware-call error code, the
    EXIT_INFO_2 returned from the VMM if the request failed, or 0 on
    success. This fixes a bug that returned uninitialized kernel stack
    memory to the user when there is no error.
  * Changed the throttle behavior to retry in the driver instead of
    returning -EAGAIN, due to possible message sequence number reuse
    on different message contents.
    
Changes from v1:
  * Changed throttle error code to 2
