Secure guests without cmma in the unsecure guest?

This is fenced for destroy cpu, but not for the transition into secure 
mode. Can we check "use_cmma" instead of cbrlo and then remove the 
fencing in the cpu destroy path?

If cmma is not set-up in vcpu_create, then we exit vcpu creation.
Maybe sprinkle in a warn on for !cbrlo
