KVM: TDX: Drop kvm_x86_ops.link_external_spt()

Drop the dedicated .link_external_spt() for linking S-EPT pages, and
instead funnel everything through .set_external_spte() for mapping S-EPT
entries. Using separate hooks doesn't help prevent TDP MMU details from
bleeding into TDX, and vice versa; to the contrary, dedicated callbacks
will result in _more_ pollution when hugepage support is added, e.g. will
require the TDP MMU to know details about the splitting rules for TDX that
aren't all that relevant to the TDP MMU.

Ideally, KVM would provide a single pair of hooks to set S-EPT entries,
one hook for setting SPTEs under write-lock and another for setting SPTEs
under read-lock (e.g. to ensure the entire operation is "atomic", to allow
for failure, etc.).  Sadly, TDX's requirement that all child S-EPT entries
are removed before the parent makes that impractical: the TDP MMU
deliberately prunes non-leaf SPTEs and _then_ processes its children, thus
making it quite important for the TDP MMU to differentiate between zapping
leaf and non-leaf S-EPT entries.

However, that's the _only_ case that's truly special, and even that case
could be shoehorned into a single hook; it just wouldn't be a net positive.
