KVM: stats: Add fd-based API to read binary stats data
This commit defines the API for userspace and prepare the common
functionalities to support per VM/VCPU binary stats data readings.
The KVM stats now is only accessible by debugfs, which has some
shortcomings this change series are supposed to fix:
1. The current debugfs stats solution in KVM could be disabled
when kernel Lockdown mode is enabled, which is a potential
rick for production.
2. The current debugfs stats solution in KVM is organized as "one
stats per file", it is good for debugging, but not efficient
for production.
3. The stats read/clear in current debugfs solution in KVM are
protected by the global kvm_lock.
Besides that, there are some other benefits with this change:
1. All KVM VM/VCPU stats can be read out in a bulk by one copy
to userspace.
2. A schema is used to describe KVM statistics. From userspace's
perspective, the KVM statistics are self-describing.
3. With the fd-based solution, a separate telemetry would be able
to read KVM stats in a less privileged environment.
4. After the initial setup by reading in stats descriptors, a
telemetry only needs to read the stats data itself, no more
parsing or setup is needed.
