As I mentioned in 
https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/fef75d54-e319-5170-5f76-f5abc4856315@linux.intel.com/,
The change of this patch will not take effect.
If "fault->nx_huge_page_workaround_enabled" is false, the condition
"spte_to_child_sp(spte)->nx_huge_page_disallowed" will not be true.

IIUC, the function disallowed_hugepage_adjust() currently is only to handle
nx_huge_page_workaround, it seems no special handling needed for TD.
