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.

Replace all occurrences of vm_paddr_t with gpa_t to align with KVM code
and with the conversion helpers (e.g. addr_hva2gpa()).
This commit was generated with the following command:
git ls-files tools/testing/selftests/kvm | xargs sed -i 's/vm_paddr_/gpa_/g'
Then by manually adjusting whitespace to make checkpatch.pl happy.
No functional change intended.

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.
