With changes to how Hyper-V guest VMs flip memory between private

mapping for shared memory is no longer necessary.  Everything needed
for the transition to shared is handled by set_memory_decrypted().

As such, remove the code to create and manage the second
mapping for VMBus monitor pages. Because set_memory_decrypted()
and set_memory_encrypted() are no-ops in normal VMs, it's
not even necessary to test for being in a Confidential VM
(a.k.a., "Isolation VM").
