Hmm, I'm reluctant to rename nx_huge_page_workaround_enabled, because

(1) Invoking disallowed_hugepage_adjust() for mirror root is to disable page
    promotion for TDX private memory, so is only applied to TDP MMU.
(2) nx_huge_page_workaround_enabled is used specifically for nx huge pages.
    fault->huge_page_disallowed = fault->exec && fault->nx_huge_page_workaround_enabled;

    if (fault->huge_page_disallowed)
        account_nx_huge_page(vcpu->kvm, sp,
                             fault->req_level >= it.level);
    
    sp->nx_huge_page_disallowed = fault->huge_page_disallowed.

    Affecting fault->huge_page_disallowed would impact
    sp->nx_huge_page_disallowed as well and would disable huge pages entirely.

    So, we still need to keep nx_huge_page_workaround_enabled.

If we introduce a new flag fault->disable_hugepage_adjust, and set it in
kvm_mmu_do_page_fault(), we would also need to invoke
tdp_mmu_get_root_for_fault() there as well.

Checking for mirror root for non-TDX VMs is not necessary, and the invocation of
tdp_mmu_get_root_for_fault() seems redundant with the one in kvm_tdp_mmu_map().
