TDG.MR.TDCALL expects reportdata and tdreport buffers to be size aligned. So,
allocating them together with sizeof(struct tdx report req) will not work. We
can get around this by allocating a slightly larger buffer size. However, because
it is not a time-critical path, I believe that allocating two separate buffers
for input/output is simpler.
