This patch is overcomplicated IMO. Just do the magic incantation in C
from do_nmi or from here:
/*

If you do the latter, you'll need to handle the case where the NMI
came from user mode.
The ideal solution is do_nmi, I think.
if (static_cpu_has(X86_BUG_AMD_FORGOT_ABOUT_NMI))
sev_es_unmask_nmi();
Feel free to use X86_FEATURE_SEV_ES instead :)
