Two bugs in the TDX guest port I/O #VE emulation, plus a small helper
extracted from KVM to avoid open-coding partial-register-write logic
in the second fix.
Patch 1 is an off-by-one in the mask used to clip the I/O value:
GENMASK(BITS_PER_BYTE * size, 0) is one bit too wide. Unchanged from
v3 1/2.
Patch 2 lifts KVM's instruction-emulator helper assign_register() out
of arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c into <asm/insn-eval.h>, renamed to
insn_assign_reg(). Dave suggested consolidating rather than adding a
third copy of the same partial-register switch; the body is rewritten
using plain arithmetic (suggested by David Laight) so the helper does
not rely on -fno-strict-aliasing or little-endian byte order. KVM
behaviour is unchanged.
Patch 3 fixes the architectural zero-extension of 32-bit IN: the old
mask-based handle_in() preserves RAX[63:32] after inl, which is wrong.
Now done by calling the helper.
Changes since v3:
- Patch 1/2 carried over unchanged as 1/3.
- Helper extracted from KVM (new patch 2/3) and used from
handle_in() (Dave, David Laight).
- Reviewed-by tags from v3 2/2 dropped on patch 3/3 because the
implementation changed substantially. v3 1/2 -> v4 1/3 Rb tags
preserved (patch unchanged).

handle_in() and handle_out() in arch/x86/coco/tdx/tdx.c use:
u64 mask = GENMASK(BITS_PER_BYTE * size, 0);
GENMASK(h, l) includes bit h. For size=1 (INB), this produces
GENMASK(8, 0) = 0x1FF (9 bits) instead of GENMASK(7, 0) = 0xFF (8
bits). The mask is one bit too wide for all I/O sizes.
Fix the mask calculation.

KVM's instruction emulator has a small helper, assign_register(), that
writes a value into a sub-register with x86 partial-register-write
semantics: 1- and 2-byte writes leave the upper bits of the destination
untouched, 4-byte writes zero-extend to 64 bits, 8-byte writes overwrite
the full register.
The TDX guest #VE handler needs the same logic for port I/O emulation
to get 32-bit zero-extension right. Rather than copy-pasting the helper,
lift it to <asm/insn-eval.h> as insn_assign_reg() so both can use it.
Rewrite the body using arithmetic instead of pointer punning so the
helper does not depend on -fno-strict-aliasing or little-endian byte
order, and add <asm/insn.h> to the header's includes so it builds
standalone in callers that have not pulled it in transitively.
No functional change.

According to x86 architecture rules, 32-bit operations zero-extend the
result to 64 bits. The current implementation of handle_in() only masks
the lower 32 bits, which preserves the upper 32 bits of RAX when a
32-bit port IN instruction is emulated.
Use insn_assign_reg() to write the result back into RAX with proper
partial-register-write semantics: 1- and 2-byte forms leave the upper
bits untouched, the 4-byte form zero-extends to the full register.
