The AMD Secure Processor (ASP) and an SNP guest use a series of
AES-GCM keys called VMPCKs to communicate securely with each other.
The IV to this scheme is a sequence number that both the ASP and the
guest track. Currently this sequence number in a guest request must
exactly match the sequence number tracked by the ASP. This means that
if the guest sees an error from the host during a request it can only
retry that exact request or disable the VMPCK to prevent an IV reuse.
AES-GCM cannot tolerate IV reuse see: "Authentication Failures in NIST
version of GCM" - Antoine Joux et al.
In order to address this make handle_guest_request() delete the VMPCK
on any non successful return. To allow userspace querying the cert_data
length make handle_guest_request() safe the number of pages required by
the host, then handle_guest_request() retry the request without
requesting the extended data, then return the number of pages required
back to userspace.
