From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@xxxxxxx>
The sev_es_get_ghcb() is called from several places, but only one of
them checks the return value. The reaction to returning NULL is always
the same: Calling panic() and kill the machine.
Instead of adding checks to all call-places, move the panic() into the
function itself so that it will no longer return NULL.
Fixes: 0786138c78e7 ("x86/sev-es: Add a Runtime #VC Exception Handler")
