Kai, Peter and I just had an offlist chat about what internal TDX locks
TDH.QUOTE.GET takes.

The next version of this series needs to come with an analysis of which ones it
contends with and how unhandleable BUSY error codes are avoided with kernel side
locking.

On initial investigation the callers may need to hold
tdx_acquire_vm_state_locks() to avoid contention around TDR lock. TDH.QUOTE.GET
also takes "TDCS.OP_STATE" as exclusive, where TDH.MEM.PAGE.REMOVE takes it for
shared.
