Now that KVM selftests use gva_t instead of vm_vaddr_t, drop "vaddr_" from
the core memory allocation APIs as the information is extraneous and does
more harm than good. E.g. the APIs don't _just_ allocate virtual memory,
they allocate backing physical memory and install mappings in the guest
page tables. And as proven by kmalloc() and malloc(), developers generally
expect that allocations come with a working virtual address.
Opportunistically clean up the function comment for vm_alloc(), and drop
the misleading and superfluous comments for its wrappers.
No functional change intended.

Use u64 instead of uint64_t to make the KVM selftests code more concise
and more similar to the kernel (since selftests are primarily developed
by kernel developers).
This commit was generated with the following command:
git ls-files tools/testing/selftests/kvm | xargs sed -i 's/uint64_t/u64/g'
Then by manually adjusting whitespace to make checkpatch.pl happy.
Include <linux/types.h> in include/kvm_util_types.h, iinclude/test_util.h,
and include/x86/pmu.h to pick up the tools-defined u64. Arguably, all
headers (especially kvm_util_types.h) should have already been including
stdint.h to get uint64_t from the libc headers, but the missing dependency
only rears its head once KVM uses u64 instead of uint64_t.
No functional change intended.

Replace all occurrences of vm_vaddr_t with gva_t to align with KVM code
and with the conversion helpers (e.g. addr_gva2hva()).
This commit was generated with the following command:
git ls-files tools/testing/selftests/kvm | xargs sed -i 's/vm_vaddr_/gva_/g'
Then by manually adjusting whitespace to make checkpatch.pl happy, and
dropping renames of functions that allocate memory within a given VM.
No functional change intended.

The 'nested_ctl' field is misnamed. Although the first bit is for nested
paging, the other defined bits are for SEV/SEV-ES. Other bits in the
same field according to the APM (but not defined by KVM) include "Guest
Mode Execution Trap", "Enable INVLPGB/TLBSYNC", and other control bits
unrelated to 'nested'.
There is nothing common among these bits, so just name the field
misc_ctl. Also rename the flags accordingly.

According to the APM, NPT walks are treated as user accesses. In
preparation for supporting NPT mappings, set the 'user' bit on NPTs by
adding a mask of bits to always be set on PTEs in kvm_mmu.

Implement nCR3 and NPT initialization functions, similar to the EPT
equivalents, and create common TDP helpers for enablement checking and
initialization. Enable NPT for nested guests by default if the TDP MMU
was initialized, similar to VMX.
Reuse the PTE masks from the main MMU in the NPT MMU, except for the C
and S bits related to confidential VMs.

Use the kernel's canonical $(ARCH) paths instead of the raw target triple
for KVM selftests directories. KVM selftests are quite nearly the only
place in the entire kernel that using the target triple for directories,
tools/testing/selftests/drivers/s390x being the lone holdout.
Using the kernel's preferred nomenclature eliminates the minor, but
annoying, friction of having to translate to KVM's selftests directories,
e.g. for pattern matching, opening files, running selftests, etc.
Opportunsitically delete file comments that reference the full path of the
file, as they are obviously prone to becoming stale, and serve no known
purpose.
