As we can move out KVM_BUG_ON() to the call site, we can simply have
seamcall() or seamcall_ret().
The call site has to check error. whether it is TDX_SW_ERROR or not.
And if it hit the unexpected error, it will mark the guest bugged.

We can eleiminate tdx_kvm_seamcall() and use seamcall() or seamcall_ret()
directly.

I intended for bad code generation. If the loop on NO_ENTRY error harms the
code generation, we might be able to use __seamcall() or __seamcall_ret()
instead of seamcall(), seamcall_ret().
