KVM: TDX: Return EINVAL, not EOPNOTSUPP, for NULL INIT_MEM_REGION source
Return EINVAL instead of EOPNOTSUPP if userspace attempts to pass a NULL
pointer for the source page of INIT_MEM_REGION, so that KVM's ABI is
consistent between TDX and SNP.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but in tdx_vcpu_init_mem_region(), does the
calculation region.nr_pages << PAGE_SHIFT overflow a 64-bit integer?
If userspace calls KVM_TDX_INIT_MEM_REGION with region.nr_pages set to a
value where the top 12 bits are non-zero (e.g., (1ULL << 52) + 1), the left
shift by PAGE_SHIFT discards the top 12 bits, evaluating to a small value.
Does this allow a malicious host userspace to bypass the overflow check
region.gpa + (region.nr_pages << PAGE_SHIFT) <= region.gpa and the
vt_is_tdx_private_gpa bounds check?
If bypassed, the while loop would then iterate based on the large un-shifted
region.nr_pages value. If a guest_memfd is mapped at a shared GPA and
initialization is started just before it, the loop could incrementally walk
into the shared GPA space.
Since KVM invokes tdh_mr_extend on that shared GPA, which the TDX module
rejects, could this trigger KVM's TDX_BUG_ON_2 and cause a host denial of
service?
