virt: tdx-guest: Add Quote generation support using TSM_REPORTS

In TDX guest, the attestation process is used to verify the TDX guest
trustworthiness to other entities before provisioning secrets to the
guest. The first step in the attestation process is TDREPORT
generation, which involves getting the guest measurement data in the
format of TDREPORT, which is further used to validate the authenticity
of the TDX guest. TDREPORT by design is integrity-protected and can
only be verified on the local machine.

To support remote verification of the TDREPORT in a SGX-based
attestation, the TDREPORT needs to be sent to the SGX Quoting Enclave
(QE) to convert it to a remotely verifiable Quote. SGX QE by design can
only run outside of the TDX guest (i.e. in a host process or in a
normal VM) and guest can use communication channels like vsock or
TCP/IP to send the TDREPORT to the QE. But for security concerns, the
TDX guest may not support these communication channels. To handle such
cases, TDX defines a GetQuote hypercall which can be used by the guest
to request the host VMM to communicate with the SGX QE. More details
about GetQuote hypercall can be found in TDX Guest-Host Communication
Interface (GHCI) for Intel TDX 1.0, section titled
"TDG.VP.VMCALL<GetQuote>".

Trusted Security Module (TSM) [1] exposes a common ABI for Confidential
Computing Guest platforms to get the measurement data via ConfigFS.
Extend the TSM framework and add support to allow an attestation agent
to get the TDX Quote data (included usage example below).

  report=/sys/kernel/config/tsm/report/report0
  mkdir $report
  dd if=/dev/urandom bs=64 count=1 > $report/inblob
  hexdump -C $report/outblob
  rmdir $report

GetQuote TDVMCALL requires TD guest pass a 4K aligned shared buffer
with TDREPORT data as input, which is further used by the VMM to copy
the TD Quote result after successful Quote generation. To create the
shared buffer, allocate a large enough memory and mark it shared using
set_memory_decrypted() in tdx_guest_init(). This buffer will be re-used
for GetQuote requests in the TDX TSM handler.

Although this method reserves a fixed chunk of memory for GetQuote
requests, such one time allocation can help avoid memory fragmentation
related allocation failures later in the uptime of the guest.

Since the Quote generation process is not time-critical or frequently
used, the current version uses a polling model for Quote requests and
it also does not support parallel GetQuote requests.
