KVM: SVM: document KVM_MEM_ENCRYPT_OP, let userspace detect if SEV is available

Userspace has no way to query if SEV has been disabled with the
sev module parameter of kvm-amd.ko.  Actually it has one, but it
is a hack: do ioctl(KVM_MEM_ENCRYPT_OP, NULL) and check if it
returns EFAULT.  Make it a little nicer by returning zero for
SEV enabled and NULL argument, and while at it document the
ioctl arguments.

The main ioctl to access SEV is KVM_MEM_ENCRYPT_OP. If the argument
to KVM_MEM_ENCRYPT_OP is NULL, the ioctl returns 0 if SEV is enabled
and ``ENOTTY` if it is disabled (on some older versions of Linux,
the ioctl runs normally even with a NULL argument, and therefore will
likely return ``EFAULT``). If non-NULL, the argument to KVM_MEM_ENCRYPT_OP
must be a struct kvm_sev_cmd::
struct kvm_sev_cmd {
__u32 id;
__u64 data;
__u32 error;
__u32 sev_fd;
};
The ``id`` field contains the subcommand, and the ``data`` field points to
another struct containing arguments specific to command. The ``sev_fd``
should point to a file descriptor that is opened on the ``/dev/sev``
device, if needed (see individual commands).
On output, ``error`` is zero on success, or an error code. Error codes
are defined in ``<linux/psp-dev.h>`.
KVM implements the following commands to support common lifecycle events of SEV
guests, such as launching, running, snapshotting, migrating and decommissioning.
