x86/virt/tdx: Drop the outdated requirement that TDX be enabled in IRQ context

Browse source

Remove TDX's outdated requirement that per-CPU enabling be done via IPI
function call, which was a stale artifact leftover from early versions of
the TDX enablement series.  The requirement that IRQs be disabled should
have been dropped as part of the revamped series that relied on a the KVM
rework to enable VMX at module load.

In other words, the kernel's "requirement" was never a requirement at all,
but instead a reflection of how KVM enabled VMX (via IPI callback) when
the TDX subsystem code was merged.

Note, accessing per-CPU information is safe even without disabling IRQs,
as tdx_online_cpu() is invoked via a cpuhp callback, i.e. from a per-CPU
thread.
