For TDX guests, kvm_vcpu_has_events() will check pending virtual interrupt
via a SEAM call.  As noted in the comments, the check for pending virtual
interrupt is intentionally skipped to save the SEAM call. Additionally,
unnecessarily returning back to guest will has performance impact.

But according to the discussion thread above, it seems that Sean prioritized
code readability (i.e. reuse the common helper to make TDX code less special)
over performance considerations?
