x86/sev: Improve handling of writes to intercepted TSC MSRs
Currently, when a Secure TSC enabled SNP guest attempts to write to the
intercepted GUEST_TSC_FREQ MSR (a read-only MSR), the guest kernel response
incorrectly implies a VMM configuration error, when in fact it is the usual
VMM configuration to intercept writes to read-only MSRs, unless explicitly
documented.
Modify the intercepted TSC MSR #VC handling:
* Write to GUEST_TSC_FREQ will generate a #GP instead of terminating the
guest
* Write to MSR_IA32_TSC will generate a #GP instead of silently ignoring it
However, continue to terminate the guest when reading from intercepted
GUEST_TSC_FREQ MSR with Secure TSC enabled, as intercepted reads indicate an
improper VMM configuration for Secure TSC enabled SNP guests.
