After this change, now the sequence is that

1. kvm_arch_pre_destroy_vm()
2. kvm_arch_destroy_vm()
   2.1 kvm_destroy_vcpus()
   2.2 .vm_destroy hook
   2.3 kvm_mmu_uninit_vm() --> mirror root ref is 1 upon here. Zap the mirror
                               root and reclaim SETP page table pages.
   2.4 .vm_free hook

Since TDX needs to reclaim the TDR page after reclaiming all other pages, we
currently added a vm_free hook at 2.4, after 2.3.

Could we move kvm_mmu_uninit_vm() before the .vm_destroy hook and after
kvm_destroy_vcpus()?

Or move the .vm_destroy hook after kvm_mmu_uninit_vm(), e.g. after
kvm_page_track_cleanup()?

Otherwise, TDX still needs to introduce the .vm_free hook, which is invoked at
the end of kvm_arch_destroy_vm().
