selftests: kvm: Add support for customized slot0 memory size
Until commit 39fe2fc9 ("selftests: kvm: make allocation of extra memory take effect", 2021-05-27), parameter extra_mem_pages was used only to calculate the page table size for all the memory chunks, because real memory allocation happened with calls of vm_userspace_mem_region_add() after vm_create_default(). Commit 39fe2fc9 however changed the meaning of extra_mem_pages to the size of memory slot 0. This makes the memory allocation more flexible, but makes it harder to account for the number of pages needed for the page tables. For example, memslot_perf_test has a small amount of memory in slot 0 but a lot in other slots, and adding that memory twice (both in slot 0 and with later calls to vm_userspace_mem_region_add()) causes an error that was fixed in commit 000ac429 ("selftests: kvm: fix overlapping addresses in memslot_perf_test", 2021-05-29) Since both uses are sensible, add a new parameter slot0_mem_pages to vm_create_with_vcpus() and some comments to clarify the meaning of slot0_mem_pages and extra_mem_pages. With this change, memslot_perf_test can go back to passing the number of memory pages as extra_mem_pages.
