This code will also be used later for SEV-SNP-validated CPUID code in
some cases, so move it to a common helper.

What is the intent behind declaring e?x as local variables, instead
of passing the addresses of regs->?x to sev_cpuid_hv()? Is it to
prevent touching any of the regs->?x unless there is no error from
sev_cpuid_hv()? If so, wouldn't it be better to hide this logic from
the callers by declaring the local variables in sev_cpuid_hv() itself,
and moving the four "*e?x = (val >> 32);" statements there to the end
of the function (just before last the return)? With that change, the
callers can safely pass the addresses of regs->?x to do_vc_no_ghcb(),
knowing that the values will only be touched if there is no error?

For me it was more about readability. E?X are well-defined as 32-bit
values, whereas regs->?x are longs. It seemed more readable to me to
have sev_cpuid_hv()/snp_cpuid() expect/return the actual native types,
and leave it up to the caller to cast/shift if necessary.

It also seems more robust for future re-use, since, for instance, if we
ever introduced another callsite that happened to already use u32 locally,
it seems like it would be a mess trying to setup up temp long* args or do
casts to pass them into these functions and then shift/cast them back just
so we could save a few lines at this particular callsite.
