Bail early from svm_enable_nmi_window() for SEV-ES guests without trying
to enable single-step of the guest, as single-stepping an SEV-ES guest is
impossible and the guest is responsible for *telling* KVM when it is ready
for an new NMI to be injected.

Functionally, setting TF and RF in svm->vmcb->save.rflags is benign as the
field is ignored by hardware, but it's all kinds of confusing.
