KVM: Add KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT exit to report faults to userspace

Add a new KVM exit type to allow userspace to handle memory faults that
KVM cannot resolve, but that userspace *may* be able to handle (without
terminating the guest).

KVM will initially use KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT to report implicit
conversions between private and shared memory.  With guest private memory,
there will be two kind of memory conversions:

  - explicit conversion: happens when the guest explicitly calls into KVM
    to map a range (as private or shared)

  - implicit conversion: happens when the guest attempts to access a gfn
    that is configured in the "wrong" state (private vs. shared)

On x86 (first architecture to support guest private memory), explicit
conversions will be reported via KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL+KVM_HC_MAP_GPA_RANGE,
but reporting KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL for implicit conversions is undesriable
as there is (obviously) no hypercall, and there is no guarantee that the
guest actually intends to convert between private and shared, i.e. what
KVM thinks is an implicit conversion "request" could actually be the
result of a guest code bug.

KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT will be used to report memory faults that appear to
be implicit conversions.

Note!  To allow for future possibilities where KVM reports
KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT and fills run->memory_fault on _any_ unresolved
fault, KVM returns "-EFAULT" (-1 with errno == EFAULT from userspace's
perspective), not '0'!  Due to historical baggage within KVM, exiting to
userspace with '0' from deep callstacks, e.g. in emulation paths, is
infeasible as doing so would require a near-complete overhaul of KVM,
whereas KVM already propagates -errno return codes to userspace even when
the -errno originated in a low level helper.

Report the gpa+size instead of a single gfn even though the initial usage
is expected to always report single pages.  It's entirely possible, likely
even, that KVM will someday support sub-page granularity faults, e.g.
Intel's sub-page protection feature allows for additional protections at
128-byte granularity.
