    virt: tdx-guest: Just leak decrypted memory on unrecoverable errors

    In CoCo VMs it is possible for the untrusted host to cause
    set_memory_decrypted() to fail such that an error is returned
    and the resulting memory is shared. Callers need to take care
    to handle these errors to avoid returning decrypted (shared)
    memory to the page allocator, which could lead to functional
    or security issues.

    Leak the decrypted memory when set_memory_decrypted() fails,
    and don’t need to print an error since set_memory_decrypted()
    will call WARN_ONCE().
