machine/memory encryption: Disable mem merge

Browse Source 
When a host is running with memory encryption, the memory isn't visible
to the host kernel; attempts to merge that memory are futile because
what it's really comparing is encrypted memory, usually encrypted
with different keys.

Automatically turn mem-merge off when memory encryption is specified.
