There are 2 common cases when INIT_EX data file might not be
opened successfully and fail the sev initialization:
1. In user namespaces, normal user tasks (e.g. VMM) can change their
current->fs->root to point to arbitrary directories. While
init_ex_path is provided as a module param related to root file
system. Solution: use the root directory of init_task to avoid
accessing the wrong file.
2. Normal user tasks (e.g. VMM) don't have the privilege to access
the INIT_EX data file. Solution: open the file as root and
restore permissions immediately.

Should this have a Fixes: tag?
Thanks,
