Correct, INIT_EX requires the file system to be ready and there is a
ccp module param to call it only when needed.

MODULE_PARM_DESC(psp_init_on_probe, " if true, the PSP will be
initialized on module init. Else the PSP will be initialized on the
first command requiring it");

If this module param is false, it won't initialize SEV on the platform
until the first SEV VM.
