Subject: [PATCH 0/2] x86/virt/tdx: Minor sparse fixups

Sean recently suggested relying on sparse to add type safety in TDX code,
hoping that the robots would notice and complain. Well, that plan is not
working out so great. TDX is not even sparse clean today and nobody seems
to have noticed or cared.

I can see how folks might ignore the 0 vs. NULL complaints. But the
misplaced __user is actually bad enough it should be fixed no matter
what.

Might as well fix it all up.
