Who unsets what now? DISABLE_TDX_GUEST still works the same as before, but patch 2
changed the check in arch_accept_memory() to be more specific
(cc_platform_has(CC_ATTR_TDX_MODULE_CALLS)). The stub should have been there all
along for CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRPYT=y && CONFIG_INTEL_TDX_GUEST=n configs, but it
happened to work without it.
