x86/boot: Fix kexec booting failure in the SEV bit detection code
Commit 1958b5fc4010 ("x86/boot: Add early boot support when running with SEV active") can occasionally cause system resets when kexec-ing a second kernel even if SEV is not active. That's because get_sev_encryption_bit() uses 32-bit rIP-relative addressing to read the value of enc_bit - a variable which caches a previously detected encryption bit position - but kexec may allocate the early boot code to a higher location, beyond the 32-bit addressing limit. In this case, garbage will be read and get_sev_encryption_bit() will return the wrong value, leading to accessing memory with the wrong encryption setting. Therefore, remove enc_bit, and thus get rid of the need to do 32-bit rIP-relative addressing in the first place.
