crypto: ccp - Name -1 return value as SEV_RET_NO_FW_CALL
The PSP can return a "firmware error" code of -1 in circumstances where the PSP has not actually been called. To make this protocol unambiguous, name the value SEV_RET_NO_FW_CALL.

The guest ioctl should be issued on a file descriptor of the /dev/sev-guest device.
The ioctl accepts struct snp_user_guest_request. The input and output structure is
