KVM_HC_CLOCK_PAIRING currently fails inside SEV-SNP guests because the
guest passes an address to static data to the host. In confidential
computing the host can't access arbitrary guest memory so handling the
hypercall runs into an "rmpfault". To make the hypercall work, the guest
needs to explicitly mark the memory as decrypted. Do that in
kvm_arch_ptp_init(), but retain the previous behavior for
non-confidential guests to save us from having to allocate memory.

Add a new arch-specific function (kvm_arch_ptp_exit()) to free the
allocation and mark the memory as encrypted again.

# Form letter - net-next is closed

The merge window for v6.3 has begun and therefore net-next is closed
for new drivers, features, code refactoring and optimizations.
We are currently accepting bug fixes only.

Please repost when net-next reopens after Mar 6th.

RFC patches sent for review only are obviously welcome at any time.
