type cast needs another tmp variable to hold the output of u64.

The reason I want to introduce tdx_sys_metadata_read_single() is to
provide a simple and unified interface for other codes to read one
metadata field, instead of letting the caller to use temporary u64
variable and handle the cast or memcpy itself.
