providing a one-off helper for effectively three lines of code is at best a
wash, and splitting the code makes the comment for smp_rmb() _extremely_
confusing as the comment talks about reading kvm->arch.pre_fault_allowed
before kvm_tdx->state, but the immediately visible code does the exact
opposite.

Opportunistically rewrite the comments to more explicitly explain who is
checking what, as well as _why_ the ordering matters.

No functional change intended.

                                                Nit: Is pre-mapped better?
Yeah, updated (and then it gets deleted a few commits later :-) ).
Oh, right, nr_premapped will be dropped later.

Since the whole nr_premapped will be dropped, do we still need a cleanup patch
like patch 12 which will be dropped finally?
