From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@xxxxxxx> commit b250f2f7792d15bcde98e0456781e2835556d5fa upstream. sev_es_get_ghcb() is called from several places but only one of them checks the return value. The reaction to returning NULL is always the same: calling panic() and kill the machine. Instead of adding checks to all call sites, move the panic() into the function itself so that it will no longer return NULL.
