x86/virt/seamldr: Introduce a wrapper for P-SEAMLDR SEAMCALLs
The TDX architecture uses the "SEAMCALL" instruction to communicate with SEAM mode software. Right now, the only SEAM mode software that the kernel communicates with is the TDX module. But, there is actually another component that runs in SEAM mode but it is separate from the TDX module: the persistent SEAM loader or "P-SEAMLDR". Right now, the only component that communicates with it is the BIOS which loads the TDX module itself at boot. But, to support updating the TDX module, the kernel now needs to be able to talk to it. P-SEAMLDR SEAMCALLs differ from TDX module SEAMCALLs in areas such as concurrency requirements. Add a P-SEAMLDR wrapper to handle these differences and prepare for implementing concrete functions. Use seamcall_prerr() (not '_ret') because current P-SEAMLDR calls do not use any output registers other than RAX. Note: Despite the similar name, the NP-SEAMLDR ("Non-Persistent") (ACM) invoked exclusively by the BIOS at boot rather than a component running in SEAM mode. The kernel cannot call it at runtime. It exposes no SEAMCALL interface.
