KVM: VMX: Generalize VPID allocation to be vendor-neutral
This commit generalizes the VMX VPID allocation code to a common TLB
tags allocator and allocates the bitmap dynamically. It also bounds the
number of allowed tags to VMX's hardware cap and introduces wrapper
functions for initialization and destruction.

[Severity: Medium]
Does this code leak the tlb_tags.bitmap on TDX setup failure?
The patch converts the static VPID bitmap to a dynamically allocated
tlb_tags.bitmap in kvm_init_tlb_tags(), which is called by
vmx_hardware_setup().
In arch/x86/kvm/vmx/main.c:vt_hardware_setup(), it sequentially calls
vmx_hardware_setup() and then tdx_hardware_setup():
arch/x86/kvm/vmx/main.c:vt_hardware_setup() {
ret = vmx_hardware_setup();
if (ret)
return ret;
return enable_tdx ? tdx_hardware_setup() : 0;
}
If tdx_hardware_setup() returns an error, vt_hardware_setup() returns the
error directly without invoking vmx_hardware_unsetup() to undo
vmx_hardware_setup()'s allocations.
KVM's generic module initialization explicitly skips calling
ops->hardware_unsetup() if ops->hardware_setup() fails.
Does this permanently leak the newly dynamically allocated tlb_tags.bitmap?
