Currently, CLFLUSH is used to flush SEV guest memory before the guest is terminated (or a memory hotplug region is removed). However, CLFLUSH is not enough to ensure that SEV guest tagged data is flushed from the cache. With 33af3a7ef9e6 ("KVM: SVM: Reduce WBINVD/DF_FLUSH invocations"), the original WBINVD was removed. This then exposed crashes at random times because of a cache flush race with a page that had both a hypervisor and a guest tag in the cache. Restore the WBINVD when destroying an SEV guest and add a WBINVD to the svm_unregister_enc_region() function to ensure hotplug memory is flushed when removed. The DF_FLUSH can still be avoided at this point.
