I think having this after the call to the SEV firmware will cause an 
issue. If the firmware has performed the attestation request 
successfully in the __snp_handle_guest_req() call, then it will have 
incremented the sequence number. If you return busy, then the sev-guest 
driver will attempt to re-issue the request with the original sequence 
number which will now fail. That failure will then be propagated back to 
the sev-guest driver which will then disable the VMPCK key.

So I think you need to put this before the call to firmware.

Thanks,
Tom
