Current code in sme_postprocess_startup() decrypts the bss_decrypted

mem_encrypt_free_decrytped_mem() re-encrypts the unused portion based
on CC_ATTR_MEM_ENCRYPT.  In a Hyper-V guest VM using vTOM, these
conditions are not equivalent as sme_me_mask is always zero when
using vTOM.  Consequently, mem_encrypt_free_decrypted_mem() attempts
to re-encrypt memory that was never decrypted.

Fix this in mem_encrypt_free_decrypted_mem() by conditioning the
re-encryption on the same test for non-zero sme_me_mask.  Hyper-V
guests using vTOM don't need the bss_decrypted section to be
decrypted, so skipping the decryption/re-encryption doesn't cause
a problem.

Meant to add this in the previous reply...

With the change to use sme_me_mask directly

To be consistent within this file, you should use sme_me_mask directly.
