[PATCH v2 0/3] KVM: riscv: Add KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY support

This series adds RISC-V support for the generic KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY
vcpu ioctl and enables the existing generic KVM selftest for RISC-V.

KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY lets userspace ask KVM to populate stage-2 mappings
for a GPA range before running a vCPU that is expected to access that
range.  x86 already supports the ioctl; RISC-V currently falls back to
normal first-touch G-stage faults.

Patch 1 implements the RISC-V arch hook using the existing G-stage map
path.  Patch 2 fixes the RISC-V selftest page-table walker for Sv57,
which can be selected as the default guest mode.  Patch 3 enables
pre_fault_memory_test for RISC-V.

Tested with pre_fault_memory_test on a RISC-V KVM host.

Changes in v2:
- Drop the per-test guest_modes_append_default() call from
  pre_fault_memory_test.c.  RISC-V already initializes supported and
  default guest modes from kvm_selftest_arch_init(), which is called by
  the common kvm_selftest_init() constructor, as suggested by Sean.
