There's a small window between

- InternalQemuFwCfgDmaBytes() setting the fields of the object.

In this window, earlier garbage in the object is "leaked" to the
hypervisor. So zero the object before we decrypt it.

(This commit message references AMD SEV directly, because QemuFwCfgDxeLib
is not *generally* enabled for IOMMU operation just yet, unlike our goal
for the virtio infrastructure. Instead, QemuFwCfgDxeLib uses
MemEncryptSevLib explicitly to detect SEV, and then relies on IOMMU
protocol behavior that is specific to SEV. At this point, this is by
design.)
