There are actually a few use cases for calling vm_tdx_finalize
seperately from the create phase. One such case is when a user wants
to add additional memslots for testing shared memory conversions.
Another one is installing interrupt handlers. But these are probably
rare enough that they can call __vm_create() and vm_vcpu_add()
manually instead of using the wrapper
