KVM: selftests: Add guest udelay() utility for x86
Add udelay() for x86 tests to allow busy waiting in the guest for a
specific duration, and to match ARM and RISC-V's udelay() in the hopes
of eventually making udelay() available on all architectures.
Get the guest's TSC frequency using KVM_GET_TSC_KHZ and expose it to all
VMs via a new global, guest_tsc_khz. Assert that KVM_GET_TSC_KHZ returns
a valid frequency, instead of simply skipping tests, which would require
detecting which tests actually need/want udelay(). KVM hasn't returned an
error for KVM_GET_TSC_KHZ since commit cc57828 ("KVM: Infrastructure
for software and hardware based TSC rate scaling"), which predates KVM
selftests by 6+ years (KVM_GET_TSC_KHZ itself predates KVM selftest by 7+
years).
Note, if the GUEST_ASSERT() in udelay() somehow fires and the test doesn't
check for guest asserts, then the test will fail with a very cryptic
message. But fixing that, e.g. by automatically handling guest asserts,
is a much larger task, and practically speaking the odds of a test afoul
of this wart are infinitesimally small.
