Will this be called only if vmbus_establish_gpad() is successful? If not, you
might want to skip set_memory_encrypted() call for decrypted = false case.
It's only called if vmbus_establish_gpadl() is successful.  I agree
we don't want to call set_memory_encrypted() if the
set_memory_decrypted() wasn't executed or it failed.  But
vmbus_teardown_gpadl() is never called with decrypted = false.
Since you rely on  vmbus_teardown_gpadl() callers, personally I think it
is better to add that check. It is up to you.
In my judgment, a check isn't really necessary.  The structure of the GPADL
code has been stable for a long time, and I'm not aware of anything
pending that would motivate a change.  And if something did change
to call vmbus_teardown_gpadl() with the memory still encrypted,
the call to set_memory_encrypted() will cause an immediate error and
a WARN_ONCE from Rick's patch to __set_memory_enc_pgtable().
The problem won't go unnoticed.
