Okay, this gets me fixes the boot for TDX guest:

Tested-by: Kirill A. Shutemov <kirill.shutemov at linux.intel.com>

But it gets broken again on "x86/smpboot: Implement a bit spinlock to
protect the realmode stack" with

[    0.554079] .... node  #0, CPUs:        #1  #2
[    0.738071] Callback from call_rcu_tasks() invoked.
[   10.562065] CPU2 failed to report alive state
[   10.566337]   #3
[   20.570066] CPU3 failed to report alive state
[   20.574268]   #4
...

Notably CPU1 is missing from "failed to report" list. So CPU1 takes the
lock fine, but seems never unlocks it.

Maybe trampoline_lock(%rip) in head_64.S somehow is not the same as
&tr_lock in trampoline_64.S. I donno.

I haven't find the root cause yet. But bypassing locking in
LOAD_REALMODE_ESP makes the issue go away.

I will look more into it.
