Alright thanks for the suggestion.  I'll remove this tdx_on_each_cpu_cond() and
do directly.

But just checking:

LP.INIT can actually be called in parallel on different cpus (doesn't have to,
of course), so we can actually just use on_each_cpu_cond() for LP.INIT:

	on_each_cpu_cond(should_skip_cpu, smp_func_module_lp_init, NULL, true);

But IIUC Peter doesn't like using IPI and prefers using via work:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/Y30dujuXC8wlLwoQ@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

So I used smp_call_on_cpu() here, which only calls @func on one cpu, but not a
cpumask.  For LP.INIT ideally we can have something like:

	schedule_on_cpu(struct cpumask *cpus, work_func_t func);

to call @func on a cpu set, but that doesn't exist now, and I don't think it's
worth to introduce it?

So, should I use on_each_cpu_cond(), or use smp_call_on_cpu() here?

(btw for the TDH.SYS.KEY.CONFIG we must do one by one as it cannot run in
parallel on multi cpus, so I'll use smp_call_on_cpu().)
