I extended the stub comment too so that it is clear that yes, the stub
is supposed to do it too and not someone later wonders why there's code
in the stub function.

Subject: [PATCH] x86/boot: Don't propagate uninitialized
boot_params->cc_blob_address
In some cases, bootloaders will leave boot_params->cc_blob_address
uninitialized rather than zeroing it out. This field is only meant to be
set by the boot/compressed kernel in order to pass information to the
uncompressed kernel when SEV-SNP support is enabled.
Therefore, there are no cases where the bootloader-provided values
should be treated as anything other than garbage. Otherwise, the
uncompressed kernel may attempt to access this bogus address, leading to
a crash during early boot.
Normally, sanitize_boot_params() would be used to clear out such fields
but that happens too late: sev_enable() may have already initialized
it to a valid value that should not be zeroed out. Instead, have
sev_enable() zero it out unconditionally beforehand.
Also ensure this happens for !CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT as well by also
including this handling in the sev_enable() stub function.
