x86/sev-es: Use __put_user()/__get_user() for data accesses

The put_user() and get_user() functions do checks on the address which is
passed to them. They check whether the address is actually a user-space
address and whether its fine to access it. They also call might_fault()
to indicate that they could fault and possibly sleep.

All of these checks are neither wanted nor needed in the #VC exception
handler, which can be invoked from almost any context and also for MMIO
instructions from kernel space on kernel memory. All the #VC handler
wants to know is whether a fault happened when the access was tried.

This is provided by __put_user()/__get_user(), which just do the access
no matter what. Also add comments explaining why __get_user() and
__put_user() are the best choice here and why it is safe to use them
in this context. Also explain why copy_to/from_user can't be used.

In addition, also revert commit

  7024f60d ("x86/sev-es: Handle string port IO to kernel memory properly")

because using __get_user()/__put_user() fixes the same problem while
the above commit introduced several problems:

  1) It uses access_ok() which is only allowed in task context.

  2) It uses memcpy() which has no fault handling at all and is
     thus unsafe to use here.

  [ bp: Fix up commit ID of the reverted commit above. ]
