f4e5f302b3361f13349b2a44378e7cf578a8e012 i386/sev: Fallback to the default SEV device if none provided in sev_get_capabilities()
When management tools (e.g. libvirt) query QEMU capabilities,
they start QEMU with a minimalistic configuration and issue
various commands on monitor. One of the command issued is/might
be "query-sev-capabilities" to learn values like cbitpos or
reduced-phys-bits. But as of v9.0.0-1145-g16dcf200dc the monitor
command returns an error instead.
This creates a chicken-egg problem because in order to query
those aforementioned values QEMU needs to be started with a
'sev-guest' object. But to start QEMU with the values must be
known.
I think it's safe to assume that the default path ("/dev/sev")
provides the same data as user provided one. So fall back to it.
