[PATCH 5.11 573/601] KVM: SVM: Disable SEV/SEV-ES if NPT is disabled

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[ Upstream commit fa13680f5668cff05302a2f4753c49334a83a064 ]

Disable SEV and SEV-ES if NPT is disabled. While the APM doesn't clearly
state that NPT is mandatory, it's alluded to by:

The guest page tables, managed by the guest, may mark data memory pages
as either private or shared, thus allowing selected pages to be shared
outside the guest.

And practically speaking, shadow paging can't work since KVM can't read
the guest's page tables.
