KVM: SEV: Add support for SEV intra host migration
For SEV to work with intra host migration, contents of the SEV info struct such as the ASID (used to index the encryption key in the AMD SP) and the list of memory regions need to be transferred to the target VM. This change adds a commands for a target VMM to get a source SEV VM's sev info.

+Type: vm
+Parameters: args[0] is the fd of the source vm
+Returns: 0 on success
+
+This capability enables userspace to migrate the encryption context from the VM
+indicated by the fd to the VM this is called on.
+
+This is intended to support intra-host migration of VMs between userspace VMMs,
+upgrading the VMM process without interrupting the guest.
