Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] KVM: VMX: Handle SEAMCALL or TDCALL VM-Exits

Add VM-Exit handlers for SEAMCALL and TDCALL as the instructions are gated
only by VMXON, and so a buggy/misbehaving guest will likely be terminated
(because KVM bails with KVM_INTERNAL_ERROR_UNEXPECTED_EXIT_REASON) if the
guest executes SEAMCALL or TDCALL.

v2:
 - Apply the behavior only to VMX.  KVM can't inject #UDs for TDX, and the
   TDX-Module is supposed to handle SEAMCALL. [Chao]
 - Fix nested exit handling (inverted return). [Xiaoyao]
 - WARN if the TDX-Module punts a SEAMCALL exit to KVM. [Xiaoyao]
 - Fix typos. [Binbin]

  KVM: VMX: Inject #UD if guest tries to execute SEAMCALL or TDCALL
  KVM: TDX: WARN if a SEAMCALL VM-Exit makes its way out to KVM
