x86/sev: Make vTPM SVSM calls preemption-safe
Two functions in the SVSM vTPM guest implementation do not disable preemption when fetching the SVSM Calling Area Address (CAA). The SVSM CAA is a per-CPU structure. When a thread is preempted and migrated to a different CPU after fetching the per-CPU CAA, the SVSM call will execute on the new CPU with the original CPU's CAA. Which is wrong. Move the CAA fetching operation inside svsm_perform_call_protocol() which disables interrupts around the SVSM call and thus runs preemption-safe.
