x86/boot: Skip video memory access in the decompressor for SEV-ES/SNP

Accessing guest video memory/RAM in the decompressor causes guest
termination as the boot stage2 #VC handler for SEV-ES/SNP systems does
not support MMIO handling.

This issue is observed during a SEV-ES/SNP guest kexec as kexec -c adds
screen_info to the boot parameters passed to the second kernel, which
causes console output to be dumped to both video and serial.

As the decompressor output gets cleared really fast, it is preferable to
get the console output only on serial, hence, skip accessing the video
RAM during decompressor stage to prevent guest termination.

Serial console output during decompressor stage works as boot stage2 #VC
handler already supports handling port I/O.
