Only tdx_sept_remove_private_spte() is doing such conversions. While
tdx_reclaim_page() and tdx_reclaim_td_control_pages() already have the
struct page natively.
So why not considering option 2?
2. keep tdx_quirk_reset_page() as-is for the cases of
tdx_reclaim_page() and tdx_reclaim_td_control_pages() that have the
struct page. But only change tdx_sept_remove_private_spte() to use
tdx_quirk_reset_paddr() directly.
It will need export tdx_quirk_reset_paddr() for KVM. I think it will be OK?
