Why does KVM care whether/when an NMI is injected by the TDX module?

I think we can simply set nmi_injected to false unconditionally here, or even in
tdx_inject_nmi(). From KVM's perspective, NMI injection is complete right after
writing to PEND_NMI. It is the TDX module that should inject the NMI at the
right time and do the re-injection.
