x86/sev: Make vTPM SVSM calls preemption-safe

Two functions in the SVSM vTPM guest implementation do not disable
preemption when fetching the SVSM Calling Area Address (CAA).

The SVSM CAA is a per-CPU structure. When a thread is preempted and migrated
to a different CPU after fetching the per-CPU CAA, the SVSM call will execute
on the new CPU with the original CPU's CAA. Which is wrong.

Move the CAA fetching operation inside svsm_perform_call_protocol() which
disables interrupts around the SVSM call and thus runs preemption-safe.
