Yes, unless you reparent mirrors of mirrors to the original ASID
owner. If you don't do that, I think userspace could pump a chain of
mirrors to blow the kernel stack when it closes the leaf vm, since you
could build up a chain of sev_vm_destroys. Refcounting the ASIDs
directly would also fix this.

Nate's early implementation did the reparenting, but I pushed for the
simplification since it made the locking a bit hairy.
