Kai Huang d6bee78137 KVM: VMX: Refactor VMX module init/exit functions
Add vt_init() and vt_exit() as the new module init/exit functions and
refactor existing vmx_init()/vmx_exit() as helper to make room for TDX
specific initialization and teardown.

To support TDX, KVM will need to enable TDX during KVM module loading
time.  Enabling TDX requires enabling hardware virtualization first so
that all online CPUs (and the new CPU going online) are in post-VMXON
state.

Currently, the vmx_init() flow is:

 1) hv_init_evmcs(),
 2) kvm_x86_vendor_init(),
 3) Other VMX specific initialization,
 4) kvm_init()

The kvm_x86_vendor_init() invokes kvm_x86_init_ops::hardware_setup() to
do VMX specific hardware setup and calls kvm_update_ops() to initialize
kvm_x86_ops to VMX's version.

TDX will have its own version for most of kvm_x86_ops callbacks.  It
would be nice if kvm_x86_init_ops::hardware_setup() could also be used
for TDX, but in practice it cannot.  The reason is, as mentioned above,
TDX initialization requires hardware virtualization having been enabled,
which must happen after kvm_update_ops(), but hardware_setup() is done
before that.

Also, TDX is based on VMX, and it makes sense to only initialize TDX
after VMX has been initialized.  If VMX fails to initialize, TDX is
likely broken anyway.

So the new flow of KVM module init function will be:

 1) Current VMX initialization code in vmx_init() before kvm_init(),
 2) TDX initialization,
 3) kvm_init()

Split vmx_init() into two parts based on above 1) and 3) so that TDX
initialization can fit in between.  Make part 1) as the new helper
vmx_init().  Introduce vt_init() as the new module init function which
calls vmx_init() and kvm_init().  TDX initialization will be added
later.

Do the same thing for vmx_exit()/vt_exit().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
