Add a external pointer to struct kvm_mmu_page for TDX's private page table
and add helper functions to allocate/initialize/free a private page table
page. TDX will only be supported with the TDP MMU. Because KVM TDP MMU
doesn't use unsync_children and write_flooding_count, pack them to have
room for a pointer and use a union to avoid memory overhead.

For private GPA, CPU refers to a private page table whose contents are
encrypted. The dedicated APIs to operate on it (e.g. updating/reading its
PTE entry) are used, and their cost is expensive.

When KVM resolves the KVM page fault, it walks the page tables. To reuse
the existing KVM MMU code and mitigate the heavy cost of directly walking
the private page table allocate two sets of page tables for the private
half of the GPA space.

For the page tables that KVM will walk, allocate them like normal and refer
to them as mirror page tables. Additionally allocate one more page for the
page tables the CPU will walk, and call them external page tables. Resolve
the KVM page fault with the existing code, and do additional operations
necessary for modifying the external page table in future patches.

The relationship of the types of page tables in this scheme is depicted
below:

PT          - Page table
Shared PT   - Visible to KVM, and the CPU uses it for shared mappings.
External PT - The CPU uses it, but it is invisible to KVM. TDX module
              updates this table to map private guest pages.
Mirror PT   - It is visible to KVM, but the CPU doesn't use it. KVM uses
              it to propagate PT change to the actual private PT.

Add a helper kvm_has_mirrored_tdp() to trigger this behavior and wire it
to the TDX vm type.
