[PATCH v7 05/22] x86/virt/seamldr: Add a helper to retrieve P-SEAMLDR information

P-SEAMLDR returns its information such as version number, in response to
the SEAMLDR.INFO SEAMCALL.

This information is useful for userspace. For example, the admin can decide
which TDX module versions are compatible with the P-SEAMLDR according to
the P-SEAMLDR version.

Add a helper to retrieve P-SEAMLDR information in preparation for
exposing P-SEAMLDR version and other necessary information to userspace.
Export the new kAPI for use by tdx-host.ko.

Note that there are two distinct P-SEAMLDR APIs with similar names:

SEAMLDR.INFO: Returns a SEAMLDR_INFO structure containing SEAMLDR
information such as version and remaining updates.

SEAMLDR.SEAMINFO: Returns a SEAMLDR_SEAMINFO structure containing SEAM
and system information such as Convertible Memory
Regions (CMRs) and number of CPUs and sockets.

The former is used here.

For details, see "Intel® Trust Domain Extensions - SEAM Loader (SEAMLDR)
Interface Specification".

v6:
- Clarify that this patch introduces a helper for retrieving info, not
the retrieval itself [Xiaoyao]
v5:
- add a comment for slow_virt_to_phys() [Kai]
v4:
- put seamldr_info on stack [Dave]
- improve changelogs to explain SEAMLDR.INFO and SEAMLDR.SEAMINFO [Dave]
- add P-SEAMLDR spec information in the changelog [Dave]
- add proper comments above ABI structure definition [Dave]
- add unused ABI structure fields rather than marking them as reserved
to better align with the specc [Dave] (I omitted "not used by kernel"
tags since there are 5-6 such fields and maintaining these tags would
be tedious.)
