Secure guests without cmma in the unsecure guest?


Fix by freeing cbrlo only if it's non-zero.

This is fenced for destroy cpu, but not for the transition into secure mode. Can we check "use_cmma" instead of cbrlo and then remove the fencing in the cpu destroy path?

If cmma is not set-up in vcpu_create, then we exit vcpu creation.
Maybe sprinkle in a warn on for !cbrlo
