Integrate hooks for mirroring page table operations for cases where TDX
will zap PTEs or free page tables.

Like other Coco technologies, TDX has the concept of private and shared
memory. For TDX the private and shared mappings are managed on separate
EPT roots. The private half is managed indirectly though calls into a
protected runtime environment called the TDX module, where the shared half
is managed within KVM in normal page tables.

Since calls into the TDX module are relatively slow, walking private page
tables by making calls into the TDX module would not be efficient. Because
of this, previous changes have taught the TDP MMU to keep a mirror root,
which is separate, unmapped TDP root that private operations can be
directed to. Currently this root is disconnected from the guest. Now add
plumbing to propagate changes to the "external" page tables being
mirrored. Just create the x86_ops for now, leave plumbing the operations
into the TDX module for future patches.

Add two operations for tearing down page tables, one for freeing page
tables (free_external_spt) and one for zapping PTEs (remove_external_spte).
Define them such that remove_external_spte will perform a TLB flush as
well. (in TDX terms "ensure there are no active translations").

TDX MMU support will exclude certain MMU operations, so only plug in the
mirroring x86 ops where they will be needed. For zapping/freeing, only
hook tdp_mmu_iter_set_spte() which is use used for mapping and linking
                                        ^
                                        extra "use"

Also, this sentence is a bit confusing about "used for mapping and linking".

PTs. Don't bother hooking tdp_mmu_set_spte_atomic() as it is only used for
zapping PTEs in operations unsupported by TDX: zapping collapsible PTEs and
kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast().

In previous changes to address races around concurrent populating using
tdp_mmu_set_spte_atomic(), a solution was introduced to temporarily set
REMOVED_SPTE in the mirrored page tables while performing the external
  ^
 FROZEN_SPTE

operations. Such a solution is not needed for the tear down paths in TDX
as these will always be performed with the mmu_lock held for write.
Sprinkle some KVM_BUG_ON()s to reflect this.

TDX MMU Prep v3:
  - Rename mirrored->external (Paolo)
  - Drop new_spte arg from reflect_removed_spte() (Paolo)
  - ...and drop was_present and is_present bools (Paolo)
  - Use base_gfn instead of sp->gfn (Paolo)
  - Better comment on logic that bugs if doing tdp_mmu_set_spte() on
    present PTE. (Paolo)
  - Move comment around KVM_BUG_ON() in __tdp_mmu_set_spte_atomic() to this
    patch, and add better comment. (Paolo)
  - In remove_external_spte(), remove was_leaf bool, skip duplicates
    present check and add comment.
  - Rename REMOVED_SPTE to FROZEN_SPTE (Paolo)

TDX MMU Prep v2:
  - Split from "KVM: x86/tdp_mmu: Support TDX private mapping for TDP MMU"
  - Rename x86_ops from "private" to "reflect"
  - In response to "sp->mirrored_spt" rename helpers to "mirrored"
  - Remove unused present mirroring support in tdp_mmu_set_spte()
  - Merge reflect_zap_spte() into reflect_remove_spte()
  - Move mirror zapping logic out of handle_changed_spte()
  - Add some KVM_BUG_ONs
