KVM: TDX: Drop kvm_x86_ops.remove_external_spte()
Drop kvm_x86_ops.remove_external_spte(), and instead handle the removal of leaf SPTEs in the S-EPT (a.k.a. external page table) in kvm_x86_ops.set_external_spte(). This will also allow extending tdx_sept_set_private_spte() to support splitting a huge S-EPT entry without needing yet another kvm_x86_ops hook. Now all changes for removing leaf mirror SPTEs are propagated through kvm_x86_ops.set_external_spte(). - When removing leaf mirror SPTEs under shared mmu_lock (though currently no path can trigger this scenario and TDX does not support this scenario), tdx_sept_remove_private_spte() may produce a warning due to lockdep_assert_held_write() or may return -EIO and trigger TDX_BUG_ON() due to concurrent BLOCK, TRACK, REMOVE. - When removing leaf mirror SPTEs under exclusive mmu_lock, all errors are unexpected. If any error occurs in this scenario, tdx_sept_remove_private_spte() will return -EIO and trigger KVM_BUG_ON(). A redundant KVM_BUG_ON() call will also be triggered in TDP MMU core in handle_changed_spte(), which is benign (the WARN will fire if and only if the VM isn't already bugged).
