Why? I don't see build_tdx_memlist() using any tdmr data.

This patch semantically does 3 independent things :

1. Renames tdx_tdmr_sysinfo to tdx_sysinfo_tdmr_info
2. Introduces tdx_sysinfo and puts the aforementioned struct in it.
3. Moves get_tdx_tdmr_sysinfo

What's the point of this function, directly calling 
get_tdx_tdmr_sysinfo(&sysinfo->tdmr_info); isn't any less obvious.
