KVM: selftests: Add basic stress test for save+restore and #PF handling

Browse source

Add a basic stress test for handling #PFs in a guest while the host is
doing save+restore cycles. The guest periodically accesses non-present
memory causing a #PF, and the #PF handler walks the page tables and
updates the PTE to be present, like a proper #PF handler.

After every access (and #PF), the guest triggers a sync and the test
performs save+restore of the VM. This is not very meaningful as
save+restore are performed after the access and #PF handling complete,
but following changes will change that.
