So for now, we should remove the PT bit from tdx_get_supported_xfam(),
but can still keep it in tdx_restore_host_xsave_state()?

Then for save/restore, maybe we can just use the pt_guest_enter() and
pt_guest_exit() also for TDX. Some additional checks are needed for
the pt_mode though as the TDX module always clears the state if PT is
enabled. And the PT_MODE_SYSTEM will be missing TDX enter/exit data
but might be otherwise usable.
