KVM: x86: Use kvzalloc() to allocate VM struct
Allocate VM structs via kvzalloc(), i.e. try to use a contiguous physical allocation before falling back to __vmalloc(), to avoid the overhead of establishing the virtual mappings. For non-debug builds, The SVM and VMX (and TDX) structures are now just below 7000 bytes in the worst case scenario (see below), i.e. are order-1 allocations, and will likely remain that way for quite some time. Add compile-time assertions in vendor code to ensure the size of the structures, sans the memslot hash tables, are order-0 allocations, i.e. are less than 4KiB. There's nothing fundamentally wrong with a larger kvm_{svm,vmx,tdx} size, but given that the size of the structure (without the memslots hash tables) is below 2KiB after 18+ years of existence, more than doubling the size would be quite notable. Add sanity checks on the memslot hash table sizes, partly to ensure they aren't resized without accounting for the impact on VM structure size, and partly to document that the majority of the size of VM structures comes from the memslots.
