tdx_module_call() calls panic() on a non-zero error value. So it is only
used for cases where failure is fatal to the guest. But in the case of
TDG.MR.REPORT TDCALL, there are valid cases for failure (like invalid
param or busy condition) and the failure is non-fatal.
So we should create a new wrapper for this use case or use
__tdx_module_call() which is already exposed in asm/tdx.h.
