Just judged superficially by the function names, it seems that the
logic is better to be put in kvm_cpu_accept_dm_intr() or some deeper
function nested in kvm_cpu_accept_dm_intr().

The function name will tell us that the interrupt is not injected
because the CPU doesn't accept it.  And it will also have an effect
that vcpu->run->ready_for_interrupt_injection will always be false
which I think is better to have for TDX.
