KVM will unnecessarily keep the bitmap when SEV is not fully enabled.

Freeing the page is also necessary to avoid introducing a bug when a
future patch eliminates svm_sev_enabled() in favor of using the global
'sev' flag directly. While sev_hardware_enabled() checks max_sev_asid,
which is true even if KVM setup fails, 'sev' will be true if and only
if KVM setup fully succeeds.

Fixes: 33af3a7ef9e6 ("KVM: SVM: Reduce WBINVD/DF_FLUSH invocations")

Oops, missed this last time... I don't think the Fixes: tag is needed anymore unless you don't want the memory consumption of the first bitmap, should the allocation of the second bitmap fail, until kvm_amd is rmmod'ed. Up to you.

Thanks,
Tom

Until that future change, you probably need to do sev_asid_bitmap = NULL
here to avoid an issue in sev_hardware_teardown() when it tries to free it
again.

Argh, you're right. Thanks!
