snp_is_secure_tsc_enabled() to make it super obvious this is a predicate.

Align indentation.

I'm leaning towards:

	svm_set_intercept_for_msr(vcpu, MSR_AMD64_GUEST_TSC_FREQ, MSR_TYPE_R,
				  !snp_is_secure_tsc_enabled(vcpu->kvm));

because the cost of setting a bit is negligible.

Hmm, we can and should handle this in sev.c.  If we add sev_vcpu_create(), then
we don't need to expose snp_is_secure_tsc_enabled(), and we can move more code
into that helper.

I'll post a combined series of this and the GHCB version patches.
