tdx_clear_page() and reset_tdx_pages() duplicate the TDX page clearing
logic. Rename reset_tdx_pages() to tdx_quirk_reset_paddr() and create
tdx_quirk_reset_page() to call tdx_quirk_reset_paddr() and be used in
place of tdx_clear_page().
The new name reflects that, in fact, the clearing is necessary only for
hardware with a certain quirk. That is dealt with in a subsequent patch
but doing the rename here avoids additional churn.
Note reset_tdx_pages() is slightly different from tdx_clear_page() because,
more appropriately, it uses mb() in place of __mb(). Except when extra
debugging is enabled (kcsan at present), mb() just calls __mb().
