Subject: [PATCH v4 12/28] KVM: TDX: WARN if mirror SPTE doesn't have full RWX
 when creating S-EPT mapping

Pass in the mirror_spte to kvm_x86_ops.set_external_spte() to provide
symmetry with .remove_external_spte(), and assert in TDX that the mirror
SPTE is shadow-present with full RWX permissions (the TDX-Module doesn't
allow the hypervisor to control protections).
