From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>

One of the last things the EFI stub does before handing over to the core
kernel when booting as a SEV guest is enabling SEV, even though this is
mostly redundant: one of the first things the core kernel does is
calling sme_enable(), after setting up the early GDT and IDT but before
even setting up the kernel page tables.

So let's just drop this call to sev_enable(), and rely on the core
kernel to initiaize SEV correctly.
