Hi Michael,

Properly type the operands being passed to __put_user()/__get_user().
Otherwise, these routines truncate data for dependent instructions
(e.g., INSW) and only read/write one byte.

Tested: Tested by sending a string with `REP OUTSW` to a port and then
reading it back in with `REP INSW` on the same port. Previous behavior
was to only send and receive the first char of the size. For example,
word operations for "abcd" would only read/write "ac". With change, the
full string is now written and read back.
Thanks for fixing this! When you re-send, please change the subject to

	x86/sev-es: Fix SEV-ES INS/OUTS instructions for word, dword, and qword
