tdx_sysinfo contains all metadata of the active TDX module, including
versions, supported features, and TDMR/TDCS/TDVPS information. These
elements may change over updates. Blindly refreshing the entire tdx_sysinfo
could disrupt running software, as it may subtly rely on the previous state
unless proven otherwise.
Adopt a conservative approach, like microcode updates, by only refreshing
version information that does not affect functionality, while ignoring
all other changes. This is acceptable as new modules are required to
maintain backward compatibility.
Any updates to metadata beyond versions should be justified and reviewed on
a case-by-case basis.
Note that preallocating a tdx_sys_info buffer before updates is to avoid
having to handle -ENOMEM when updating tdx_sysinfo after a successful
update.

v2:
- don't add a separate function for version and feature checks. Do them
directly in tdx_module_post_update()
- add a comment about preallocating a tdx_sys_info buffer in
seamldr_install_module().
