[PATCH 4/6] Revert "x86/sev-es: Handle string port IO to kernel memory properly"

[Joerg Roedel]

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@xxxxxxx>

This reverts commit 7024f60d655272bd2ca1d3a4c9e0a63319b1eea1.

The commit reverted here introduces a short-cut into the #VC handlers
memory access code which only works reliably in task context. But the
kernels #VC handler can be invoked from any context, making the
access_ok() call trigger a warning with CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP
enabled.

Also the memcpy() used in the reverted patch is wrong, as it has no
page-fault handling. Access to kernel memory can also fault due to
kernel bugs, and those should not be reported as faults from the #VC
handler but as bugs of their real call-site, which is correctly later
done from vc_forward_exception().

Fixes: 7024f60d6552 ("x86/sev-es: Handle string port IO to kernel memory properly")
