Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Restore extra_mem_pages and add slot0_mem_pages

(39fe2fc96694 "selftests: kvm: make allocation of extra memory take effect")
changed the meaning of extra_mem_pages and treated it as slot0 memory size.

In fact extra_mem_pages is used for non-slot0 memory size, there is no custom
slot0 memory size support. See discuss in https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/6/3/551
for more details.

This patchset restores extra_mem_pages's original meaning and adds support for
custom slot0 memory with a new parameter slot0_mem_pages.

Run below command, all 39 tests passed.
# make -C tools/testing/selftests/ TARGETS=kvm run_tests
