perf_test_util is used to set up KVM selftests where vCPUs touch a
region of memory. The guest code is implemented in perf_test_util.c (not
the calling selftests). The guest code requires a 1 parameter, the
vcpuid, which has to be set by calling vcpu_args_set(vm, vcpu_id, 1,
vcpu_id).
Today all of the selftests that use perf_test_util are making this call.
Instead, perf_test_util should just do it. This will save some code but
more importantly prevents mistakes since totally non-obvious that this
needs to be called and failing to do so results in vCPUs not accessing
the right regions of memory.

Introduce a new option to dirty_log_perf_test: -x number_of_slots. This
causes the test to attempt to split the region of memory into the given
number of slots. If the region cannot be evenly divided, the test will
fail.
This allows testing with more than one slot and therefore measure how
performance scales with the number of memslots.

vm_get_max_gfn() casts vm->max_gfn from a uint64_t to an unsigned int,
which causes the upper 32-bits of the max_gfn to get truncated.
Nobody noticed until now likely because vm_get_max_gfn() is only used
as a mechanism to create a memslot in an unused region of the guest
physical address space (the top), and the top of the 32-bit physical
address space was always good enough.
This fix reveals a bug in memslot_modification_stress_test which was
trying to create a dummy memslot past the end of guest physical memory.
Fix that by moving the dummy memslot lower.

Add a memslot modification stress test in which a memslot is repeatedly
created and removed while vCPUs access memory in another memslot. Most
userspaces do not create or remove memslots on running VMs which makes
it hard to test races in adding and removing memslots without a
dedicated test. Adding and removing a memslot also has the effect of
tearing down the entire paging structure, which leads to more page
faults and pressure on the page fault handling path than a one-and-done
memory population test.
