In a SNP guest with pavavisor on Hyper-V, hv_ghcb_hypercall() is called in
only two places: vmbus_set_event() and hv_post_message(), where the
hypercalls, which are done via GHCB, need to be handled by the Hyper-V
hypervisor directly; in other places, the hypercalls, which are done via the
hypercall page, need to be handled by the pavavisor. That's to say, there
are 2 different kinds of hypercalls for a SNP guest with pavavisor on Hyper-V,
and hence we have to use 2 styles.

For a TDX guest without pavavisor on Hyper-V, there is only one style of
hypercalls, so I make the change in hv_do_hypercall() and
hv_do_fast_hypercall*() directly. 

I don't think we can make any clean-up changes right now. When we
support the TDX guest with pavavisor on Hyper-V, we'll figure out if we
can make any improvement.
