I am not sure if I am able to understand your feedback. The
sev_platform_shutdown() is called unconditionally.
1) if sev_do_cmd() fails and sev_platform_shutdown() was success then
'ret' will contain the error code from sev_do_cmd().
2) if sev_do_cmd() was success but sev_platform_shutdown() fails then
'ret' will contain the error code from sev_platform_shutdown()
3) if both sev_do_cmd() and sev_platform_shutdown() fails then 'ret'
will contain error code from the sev_platform_shutdown().
