[PATCH v6 16/18] KVM: selftests: Verify vCPU migration during IRQ delivery in IRQ test

From: David Matlack <dmatlack at google.com>

Extend the eventfd IRQ test with a '-m' flag to have the test migrate the
target vCPU to a random physical CPU before triggering its interrupt, e.g.
to validate KVM's ability to update device posted IRQ routing.
