How about check_features()? Almost everything having to do with TDX
concerns the TDX module, so using "module" in a symbol name rarely adds
any useful context.

A user would have no idea with this error message how about something
like:

pr_err("frame pointer (RBP) clobber bug present, upgrade TDX module\n");
