Sean Christopherson 73eaa2aa14 KVM: selftests: Ensure guest writes min number of pages in dirty_log_test
Ensure the vCPU fully completes at least one write in each dirty_log_test
iteration, as failure to dirty any pages complicates verification and
forces the test to be overly conservative about possible values.  E.g.
verification needs to allow the last dirty page from a previous iteration
to have *any* value, because the vCPU could get stuck for multiple
iterations, which is unlikely but can happen in heavily overloaded and/or
nested virtualization setups.

Somewhat arbitrarily set the minimum to 0x100/256; high enough to be
interesting, but not so high as to lead to pointlessly long runtimes.

Opportunistically report the number of writes per iteration for debug
purposes, and so that a human can sanity check the test.  Due to each
write targeting a random page, the number of dirty pages will likely be
lower than the number of total writes, but it shouldn't be absurdly lower
(which would suggest the pRNG is broken)
