How about adding the reference to the code comment? Here we just need some fact
description. Adding reference to the code comment also allows people to find
the relative part in the spec easily when they are looking at the actual code
(i.e. after the code is merged to upstream). Otherwise people needs to do a git
blame and find the exact commit message for that.

Prevent all SEAMCALLs on other LPs except TDH.SYS.LP.SHUTDOWN. The spec defnies
shutting down the TDX module as running this SEAMCALl on all LPs, so why just
run on a single cpu? What's the benefit?
Also, the spec also mentions for runtime update, "SEAMLDR can check that
TDH.SYS.SHUTDOWN has been executed on all LPs". Runtime update isn't supported
in this series, but it can leverage the existing code if we run SEAMCALL on all
LPs to shutdown the module as spec suggested. Why just run on a single cpu?

There are couple of problems of doing that:
- All the functions are static in this tdx.c. Introducing them separately in
dedicated patch would result in compile warning about those static functions are
not used.
- I have received comments from others I can add those functions when they are
firstly used. Given those functions is not large, so I prefer this way too.

When SEAMCALL fails, the error code will be printed out actually (please see
previous patch), so I thought there's no need to WARN_ON() here (and some other
similar places). I am not sure the additional WARN_ON() will do any help?
