[PATCH v6 05/11] x86/virt/tdx: Handle concurrent callers in tdx_pamt_get/put()

[Rick Edgecombe <rick.p.edgecombe@intel.com>]

From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com>

tdx_pamt_get()/tdx_pamt_put() unconditionally add or remove Dynamic PAMT
backing for the 2MB region covering the passed pfn. However, multiple
callers can concurrently operate on 4KB pages that fall within the same
2MB region. When this happens only one Dynamic PAMT page pair needs to be
installed to cover the 2MB range. And when one page is freed, the Dynamic
PAMT backing cannot be freed until all pages in the range are no longer in
use. Make the helpers handle these races internally.

Use the per-2MB refcounts from previous changes to track how many 4KB
pages are in use within each region. Gate the actual Dynamic PAMT add and
remove on refcount transitions (0->1 and 1->0). Serialize the refcount
check and SEAMCALL with a global spinlock so the read-decide-act sequence
is atomic. This also avoids TDX module BUSY errors, as Dynamic PAMT add
and remove SEAMCALLs take an internal TDX module locks at 2MB granularity,
so simultaneous attempts on the same region would conflict.

The lock is global and heavyweight. Use simple conditional logic to keep
correctness obvious. This will be optimized in a later change.

v6:
 - Split from "x86/virt/tdx: Add tdx_alloc/free_control_page() helpers"
 - Return 0 instead of ret to be clearer (Binbin)
 - Clarify log (Nikolay)
 - Justify why the patch is not optimized in response to comments by
   (Nikolay)
 - Move tdx_find_pamt_refcount() to faciliate patch re-order
 - Adjustments from dropping error helper patches
 - Log tweaks
