>Should this go in the previous patch?

I didn't put it there because the previous patch doesn't strictly need
it; this patch is the first user.

Adding the macro in the previous patch while still tagging
__read_sys_metadata_table() __maybe_unused looks a bit odd:
the macro references the function, yet nothing uses either of them.

That said, I can move it if the oddness doesn't bother you.

I'd prefer to keep them, for a few reasons:

1. This one is actually called twice: from get_tdx_sys_info() and from
   tdx_module_run_update().

2. The helper name describes what is being read better than a bare
   read_sys_metadata_table() call.

3. Some helpers do more than read a table (see get_tdx_sys_info_td_conf()).
   Without per-class helpers, get_tdx_sys_info() would open-code
   read_sys_metadata_table() for some classes and call a helper for
   others, which looks inconsistent. With one helper per metadata class,
   every class is read the same way.
