x86/sev: Fix kernel crash due to late update to read-only ghcb_version

A write-access violation page fault kernel crash was observed while running
cpuhotplug LTP testcases on SEV-ES enabled systems. The crash was
observed during hotplug, after the CPU was offlined and the process
was migrated to different CPU. setup_ghcb() is called again which
tries to update ghcb_version in sev_es_negotiate_protocol(). Ideally this
is a read_only variable which is initialised during booting.

Trying to write it results in a pagefault:

  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffba556e70
  #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode
  #PF: error_code(0x0003) - permissions violation
  [ ...]

The fix is to call sev_es_negotiate_protocol() only in the BSP boot phase,
and it only needs to be done once in any case.
