[ Upstream commit 27d25348d42161837be08fc63b04a2559d2e781c ]
A write-access violation page fault kernel crash was observed while running
cpuhotplug LTP testcases on SEV-ES enabled systems. The crash was
observed during hotplug, after the CPU was offlined and the process
was migrated to different CPU. setup_ghcb() is called again which
tries to update ghcb_version in sev_es_negotiate_protocol(). Ideally this
is a read_only variable which is initialised during booting.
Trying to write it results in a pagefault:
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffba556e70
#PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode
#PF: error_code(0x0003) - permissions violation

The fix is to call sev_es_negotiate_protocol() only in the BSP boot phase,
and it only needs to be done once in any case.
