x86/virt/tdx: Use precalculated TDVPR page physical address

Browse source 
[ Upstream commit e414b10058 ]

All of the x86 KVM guest types (VMX, SEV and TDX) do some special context
tracking when entering guests. This means that the actual guest entry
sequence must be noinstr.

Part of entering a TDX guest is passing a physical address to the TDX
module. Right now, that physical address is stored as a 'struct page'
and converted to a physical address at guest entry. That page=>phys
conversion can be complicated, can vary greatly based on kernel
config, and it is definitely _not_ a noinstr path today.

There have been a number of tinkering approaches to try and fix this
up, but they all fall down due to some part of the page=>phys
conversion infrastructure not being noinstr friendly.

Precalculate the page=>phys conversion and store it in the existing
'tdx_vp' structure.  Use the new field at every site that needs a
tdvpr physical address. Remove the now redundant tdx_tdvpr_pa().
Remove the __flatten remnant from the tinkering.

Note that only one user of the new field is actually noinstr. All
others can use page_to_phys(). But, they might as well save the effort
since there is a pre-calculated value sitting there for them.
