x86/tdx: Disable the TDX module during kexec and kdump

Use the TDH.SYS.DISABLE SEAMCALL, which disables the TDX module,
reclaims all memory resources assigned to TDX, and clears any
partial-write induced poison, to allow kexec and kdump on platforms with
the partial write errata.

On TDX-capable platforms with the partial write erratum, kexec has been
disabled because the new kernel could hit a machine check reading a
previously poisoned memory location.

Later TDX modules support TDH.SYS.DISABLE, which disables the module and
reclaims all TDX memory resources, allowing the new kernel to re-initialize
TDX from scratch. This operation also clears the old memory, cleaning up
any poison.

Add tdx_sys_disable() to tdx_shutdown(), which is called in the
syscore_shutdown path for kexec. This is done just before tdx_shutdown()
disables VMX on all CPUs.

For kdump, call tdx_sys_disable() in the crash path before
x86_virt_emergency_disable_virtualization_cpu() does VMXOFF.

Since this clears any poison on TDX-managed memory, remove the
X86_BUG_TDX_PW_MCE check in machine_kexec() that blocked kexec on
partial write errata platforms.
