Hmm... I'm not sure if we can get here without having taken the VMGEXIT
path to start, but it certainly couldn't hurt to add it.

I can submit a v2 with that unless you want to submit it (with one small
change below).

This should be WARN_ON_ONCE(!svm->ghcb), otherwise you'll get the right
result, but get a stack trace immediately.
