x86/sev/vc: Fix EFI runtime instruction emulation
In case efi_mm is active go use the userspace instruction decoder which supports fetching instructions from active_mm. This is needed to make instruction emulation work for EFI runtime code, so it can use CPUID and RDMSR. EFI runtime code uses the CPUID instruction to gather information about the environment it is running in, such as SEV being enabled or not, and choose (if needed) the SEV code path for ioport access. EFI runtime code uses the RDMSR instruction to get the location of the CAA page (see SVSM spec, section 4.2 - "Post Boot"). The big picture behind this is that the kernel needs to be able to properly handle #VC exceptions that come from EFI runtime services. Since EFI runtime services have a special page table mapping for the EFI virtual address space, the efi_mm context must be used when decoding instructions during #VC handling.
