From: Isaku Yamahata <isaku.yamahata@xxxxxxxxx>
TDX module has mitigation against zero-step attacks or single-step attacks.
When the TDX module finds repeated EPT violations on the same guest RIP,
i.e. no advance in guest, it starts to suspect the attack. The mitigation
logic on the next entry tries to take the lock of S-EPT. It may result in
an error of TDX_OPERAND_BUSY | TDX_OPERAND_ID_SEPT. As KVM shouldn't
spuriously zap private S-EPT so that guest can make progress, KVM
shouldn't cause the TDX module to trigger the mitigation. Make
(TDX_OPERAND_BUSY | TDX_OPERAND_ID_SEPT) on entry KVM bug.

- This patch is RFC because this is only lightly tested and stress test
isn't done.
