Unconditionally assert that mmu_lock is held for write when removing S-EPT
entries, not just when removing S-EPT entries triggers certain conditions,
e.g. needs to do TDH_MEM_TRACK or kick vCPUs out of the guest.
Conditionally asserting implies that it's safe to hold mmu_lock for read
when those paths aren't hit, which is simply not true, as KVM doesn't
support removing S-EPT entries under read-lock.

Only two paths lead to remove_external_spte(), and both paths asserts that
mmu_lock is held for write (tdp_mmu_set_spte() via lockdep, and
handle_removed_pt() via KVM_BUG_ON()).

Deliberately leave lockdep assertions in the "no vCPUs" helpers to document
that wait_for_sept_zap is guarded by holding mmu_lock for write, and keep
the conditional assert in tdx_track() as well, but with a comment to help
explain why holding mmu_lock for write matters (above and beyond why
tdx_sept_remove_private_spte()'s requirements).
