x86/virt/tdx: Avoid indirect calls to TDX assembly functions



Two 'static inline' TDX helper functions (sc_retry() and
sc_retry_prerr()) take function pointer arguments which refer to
assembly functions.  Normally, the compiler inlines the TDX helper,
realizes that the function pointer targets are completely static --
thus can be resolved at compile time -- and generates direct call
instructions.

But, other times (like when CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y), the
compiler declines to inline the helpers and will instead generate
indirect call instructions.

Indirect calls to assembly functions require special annotation (for
various Control Flow Integrity mechanisms).  But TDX assembly
functions lack the special annotations and can only be called
directly.

Annotate both the helpers as '__always_inline' to prod the compiler
into maintaining the direct calls. There is no guarantee here, but
Peter has volunteered to report the compiler bug if this assumption
ever breaks[1].
