Implement a workaround for an SNP erratum where the CPU will incorrectly
signal an RMP violation #PF if a hugepage (2mb or 1gb) collides with the
RMP entry of the VMSAVE target page.

When SEV-SNP is globally enabled, the CPU marks the VMSAVE target page
as "InUse" while the VMSAVE instruction is executing. If another
CPU writes to a different page in the same 2MB region while the VMSAVE
is executing, the CPU will throw an RMP violation #PF.

Use the snp safe generic allocator for allocating the VMSA target
page which will ensure that the page returned is not a hugepage, as it
is already being used for the allocating the VMCB, VMSA and AVIC backing
page.

This should be merged with patch where implements the snp_safe_alloc_page().
