arm64 Realms, powerpc secure guests and s390 protected virtualization
guests currently report CC_ATTR_MEM_ENCRYPT, but not
CC_ATTR_GUEST_MEM_ENCRYPT.

These environments are all secure guest configurations. Their
force_dma_unencrypted() implementations also treat the same secure guest
state as requiring unencrypted DMA. Report CC_ATTR_GUEST_MEM_ENCRYPT for
the same condition so generic confidential-computing code can distinguish
guest memory encryption from host memory encryption instead of relying only
on CC_ATTR_MEM_ENCRYPT.
