Actually, no, because doing that would provide hypervisor a means to
effectively disable CPUID page for an SNP guest by provided a table with
count == 0, which needs to be guarded against.
But can still implement something similar by having snp_cpuid_info_get_ptr()
return NULL if local copy of cpuid page hasn't been initialized.
