[PATCH 0/8] KVM: selftests: Binary stats fixes and infra updates

Fix a handful of bugs in the binary stats infrastructure, expand support
to vCPU-scoped stats, enumerate all KVM stats in selftests, and use the
enumerated stats to assert at compile-time that {vm,vcpu}_get_stat() is
getting a stat that actually exists.

Most of the bugs are benign, and AFAICT, none actually cause problems in
the current code base.  The worst of the bugs is lack of validation that
the requested stat actually exists, which is quite annoying if someone
fat fingers a stat name, tries to get a vCPU stat on a VM FD, etc.

FWIW, I'm not entirely convinced enumerating all stats is worth doing in
selftests.  It seems nice to have?  But I don't know that it'll be worth
the maintenance cost.  It was easy enough to implement, so here it is...

  KVM: selftests: Fix mostly theoretical leak of VM's binary stats FD
  KVM: selftests: Close VM's binary stats FD when releasing VM
  KVM: selftests: Assert that __vm_get_stat() actually finds a stat
  KVM: selftests: Macrofy vm_get_stat() to auto-generate stat name
    string
  KVM: selftests: Add struct and helpers to wrap binary stats cache
  KVM: selftests: Get VM's binary stats FD when opening VM
  KVM: selftests: Add infrastructure for getting vCPU binary stats
  KVM: selftests: Add compile-time assertions to guard against stats
