e0ccc45b05 KVM: arm64: selftests: Add test for SVE host corruption
Until recently, the kernel could unexpectedly discard SVE state for a
period after a KVM_RUN ioctl, when the guest did not execute any
FPSIMD/SVE/SME instructions. We fixed that issue in commit:

  fbc7e61195 ("KVM: arm64: Unconditionally save+flush host FPSIMD/SVE/SME state")

Add a test which tries to provoke that issue by manipulating SVE state
before/after running a guest which does not execute any FPSIMD/SVE/SME
instructions. The test executes a handful of iterations to miminize
the risk that the issue is masked by preemption.
