x86/sev-es: Allow copy_from_kernel_nofault() in earlier boot
[ Upstream commit f79936545fb122856bd78b189d3c7ee59928c751 ]
Previously, if copy_from_kernel_nofault() was called before
boot_cpu_data.x86_virt_bits was set up, then it would trigger undefined
behavior due to a shift by 64.
This ended up causing boot failures in the latest version of ubuntu2204
in the gcp project when using SEV-SNP.
Specifically, this function is called during an early #VC handler which
is triggered by a CPUID to check if NX is implemented.
