Just to make it easier, please put this upstream fix into -stable:

  91cfc88c66bf: ("x86: Use __nostackprotect for sme_encrypt_kernel")

I believe all the prerequisite upstream commits are in -stable already:

 1303880179e6: x86/mm: Clean up register saving in the __enc_copy() assembly code
 bacf6b499e11: x86/mm: Use a struct to reduce parameters for SME PGD mapping
 2b5d00b6c2cd: x86/mm: Centralize PMD flags in sme_encrypt_kernel()
 cc5f01e28d6c: x86/mm: Prepare sme_encrypt_kernel() for PAGE aligned encryption
 107cd2532181: x86/mm: Encrypt the initrd earlier for BSP microcode update

Thanks,

	Ingo
