From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>

The early page state change API performs an SVSM call to PVALIDATE each
page when running under a SVSM, and this involves either a GHCB page
based call or a call based on the MSR protocol.

The GHCB page based variant involves VA to PA translation of the GHCB
address, and this is best avoided in the startup code, where virtual
addresses are ambiguous (1:1 or kernel virtual).

As this is the last remaining occurrence of svsm_perform_call_protocol()
in the startup code, switch to the MSR protocol exclusively in this
particular case, so that the GHCB based plumbing can be moved out of the
startup code entirely in a subsequent patch.
