Subject: [PATCH 4/4] selftests: KVM: use dirty logging to check if page stats
 work correctly

When dirty logging is enabled, KVM splits the all hugepage mapping in
NPT/EPT into the smallest 4K size. This property could be used to check if
the page stats metrics work properly in KVM mmu. At the same time, this
logic might be used the other way around: using page stats to verify if
dirty logging really splits all huge pages. Moreover, when dirty logging is
disabled, KVM zaps corresponding SPTEs and we could check whether the large
pages come back when guest touches the pages again.

So add page stats checking in dirty logging performance selftest. In
particular, add checks in three locations:
 - just after vm is created;
 - after populating memory into vm but before enabling dirty logging;
 - just after turning on dirty logging.
 - after one final iteration after turning off dirty logging.

Tested using commands:
 - ./dirty_log_perf_test -s anonymous_hugetlb_1gb
 - ./dirty_log_perf_test -s anonymous_thp
