In case of error this function will return vtl=0, which can be the valid value of vtl.
I suggest we initialize vtl with -1 so and then check for its return.

This could be a good utility function which can be used for any Hyper-V VTL system, so think
of making it global ?


Tianyu -- your thought on this?

In current user cases, the guest only runs in VTL0 and Hyper-V may
return VTL error in some cases but kernel still may run with 0 as VTL.

I just sent out v5 and set VTL to 0 by default if fail to get VTL from
Hyper-V and give out a warning log. The get_vtl() is only called on enlightened SEV-SNP guest. If there is new case that needs handle the error from Hyper-V when call VTL hvcall, we may add the logic later.
