Historically, the preferred Subject prefix for changes to connection.c has
been "Drivers: hv: vmbus:", not just "hv:".  Sometimes that preference
isn't followed, but most of the time it is.

I'd argue that this is for CoCo VMs in general, not just TDX.  I don't know
all the failure modes for SEV-SNP, but the code paths you are changing
are run in both TDX and SEV-SNP CoCo VMs.

It's not Hyper-V doing the freeing.  Maybe say "VMBus code could
free ...."

Of course, this will leak the memory for both pages if only one of the
set_memory_encrypted() calls fails, but I'm OK with that.  It doesn't
seem worth the additional complexity to treat each page separately.
