[PATCH v7 3/3] RISC-V: KVM: selftests: Add RISC-V SBI STA shmem alignment tests

Add RISC-V KVM selftests to verify the SBI Steal-Time Accounting (STA)
shared memory alignment requirements.

The SBI specification requires the STA shared memory GPA to be 64-byte
aligned, or set to all-ones to explicitly disable steal-time accounting.
This test verifies that KVM enforces the expected behavior when
configuring the SBI STA shared memory via KVM_SET_ONE_REG.

Specifically, the test checks that:
- misaligned GPAs are rejected with -EINVAL
- 64-byte aligned GPAs are accepted
- all-ones GPA is accepted

V6 -> V7: 
- Removed RISCV_SBI_STA_REG() macro addition and used existing 
KVM_REG_RISCV_SBI_STA_REG(shmem_lo) instead.
- Refined assertion messages per review feedback.
- Split into two patches per Andrew Jones' suggestion:
    Refactored UAPI tests from steal_time_init() into dedicated 
    check_steal_time_uapi() function and added empty stub for 
    RISC-V.
    Filled in RISC-V stub with STA alignment tests. (this patch)
