b268b6f0bd KVM: selftests: Implement perf_test_util more conventionally
It's not conventional C to put non-inline functions in header
files. Create a source file for the functions instead. Also
reduce the amount of globals and rename the functions to
something less generic.

e42ac777d6 KVM: selftests: Factor out guest mode code
demand_paging_test, dirty_log_test, and dirty_log_perf_test have
redundant guest mode code. Factor it out.

Also, while adding a new include, remove the ones we don't need.

f63f0b68c8 KVM: selftests: always use manual clear in dirty_log_perf_test
Nothing sets USE_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG anymore, so anything it surrounds
is dead code.

However, it is the recommended way to use the dirty page bitmap
for new enough kernel, so use it whenever KVM has the
KVM_CAP_MANUAL_DIRTY_LOG_PROTECT2 capability.

6d6a18fdde KVM: selftests: allow two iterations of dirty_log_perf_test
Even though one iteration is not enough for the dirty log performance
test (due to the cost of building page tables, zeroing memory etc.)
two is okay and it is the default.  Without this patch,
"./dirty_log_perf_test" without any further arguments fails.

4fd94ec7d5 KVM: selftests: Introduce the dirty log perf test
The dirty log perf test will time verious dirty logging operations
(enabling dirty logging, dirtying memory, getting the dirty log,
clearing the dirty log, and disabling dirty logging) in order to
quantify dirty logging performance. This test can be used to inform
future performance improvements to KVM's dirty logging infrastructure.

This series was tested by running the following invocations on an Intel
Skylake machine:
dirty_log_perf_test -b 20m -i 100 -v 64
dirty_log_perf_test -b 20g -i 5 -v 4
dirty_log_perf_test -b 4g -i 5 -v 32
demand_paging_test -b 20m -v 64
demand_paging_test -b 20g -v 4
demand_paging_test -b 4g -v 32
All behaved as expected.
