Why not set it by default at the beginning of the function?

Will this be called only if vmbus_establish_gpad() is successful? If not, you might want to skip
set_memory_encrypted() call for decrypted = false case.

IMO, you can set it to false by default. Any way with non zero return, user know about the
decryption failure.
