Hm. You are right.

I think it yet another quirk in how lookup_address() implemented. We need
to make it straight too.

There's two options: either make lookup_address() return pointer for entry
even if it is NULL, or add check for pte_none() after pte_offset_kernel()
and return NULL if it is true.

I like the first option more as it allows caller to populate the entry if
it wants.

For TDX, I don't touch shared bit as nobody suppose to touch the memory
after the point (ans set_memory_np() enforces it for !crash case).

Can't SNP do the same?
