x86/virt/tdx: Add APIs to support Dynamic PAMT ops from KVM's fault path

When handling an EPT violation, KVM holds a spinlock while manipulating
the EPT. Before entering the spinlock it doesn't know how many EPT page
tables will need to be installed or whether a huge page will be used. For
this reason it allocates a worst case number of page tables that it might
need as part of servicing the EPT violation.

Under Dynamic PAMT (DPAMT) these pre-allocated pages will potentially need
to have DPAMT backing pages installed for them. KVM already has helpers to
manage topping up page caches before taking the MMU lock, but they cannot
be passed from KVM to arch/x86 code.

The problem of how and when to install the DPAMT backing pages for the
pages given to the TDX module during the fault path has had a lot of
design attempts.
 - Extracting KVM's MMU caches requires too much inlined code added to
   headers.
 - A few varieties of installing DPAMT backing when allocating the
   S-EPT page tables. (see links)
 - Using mempool_t to transfer the pages between KVM and arch/x86 doesn't
   work because the component is designed more around maintaining a pool
   of pages, rather than topping up a continually drained cache.

So don't do these as they all had various problems. Instead just create a
small simple data structure to use for handing a pre-allocated list of
pages between KVM and arch/x86 code. Model this on KVM's existing MMU
memory caches.

Add a tdx_pamt_cache arg to tdx_pamt_get() so it can draw pages from a
cache when needed. Not all DPAMT page installations will happen under
spinlock, for example TD and vCPU scoped control pages. So have
tdx_pamt_get() maintain the existing behavior of allocating from the page
allocator when NULL is passed for the struct tdx_pamt_cache arg. This
prevents excess allocations for cases where it can be avoided.

Export the new helpers for KVM.
