KVM: selftests: Automatically do init_ucall() for non-barebones VMs
Do init_ucall() automatically during VM creation to kill two (three?)
birds with one stone.
First, initializing ucall immediately after VM creations allows forcing
aarch64's MMIO ucall address to immediately follow memslot0. This is
still somewhat fragile as tests could clobber the MMIO address with a
new memslot, but it's safe-ish since tests have to be conversative when
accounting for memslot0. And this can be hardened in the future by
creating a read-only memslot for the MMIO page (KVM ARM exits with MMIO
if the guest writes to a read-only memslot). Add a TODO to document that
selftests can and should use a memslot for the ucall MMIO (doing so
requires yet more rework because tests assumes thay can use all memslots
except memslot0).
Second, initializing ucall for all VMs prepares for making ucall
initialization meaningful on all architectures. aarch64 is currently the
only arch that needs to do any setup, but that will change in the future
by switching to a pool-based implementation (instead of the current
stack-based approach).
Lastly, defining the ucall MMIO address from common code will simplify
switching all architectures (except s390) to a common MMIO-based ucall
implementation (if there's ever sufficient motivation to do so).
