TDX module requires TDH.SYS.LP.INIT() on all logical processors(LPs).  If we
successfully initialized TDX module, we don't need further action for TDX on cpu
online/offline.

If some of LPs are not online when loading kvm_intel.ko, KVM fails to initialize
TDX module. TDX support is disabled.  We don't bother to attempt it.  Leave it
to the admin of the machine.
