With the latest TDX 1.5 module, we don't need TDX_MAX_VCPUS.
The metadata MD_FIELD_ID_MAX_VCPUS_PER_TD was introduced at the middle version
of TDX 1.5. (I don't remember the exact version.), the logic was something
like as follows. Now if we fail to read the metadata, disable TDX.
read metadata MD_FIELD_ID_MAX_VCPUS_PER_TD;
if success
tdx_info->max_vcpu_per_td = the value read metadata
else
tdx_info->max_vcpu_per_td = TDX_MAX_VCPUS;
