Subject: [PATCH] KVM: selftests: use unified time type for comparison

With test case kvm_page_table_test, start time is acquired with
time type CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW, however end time in function timespec_elapsed
is acquired with time type CLOCK_MONOTONIC. This will cause
inaccurate elapsed time calculation on some platform such as LoongArch.

This patch modified test case kvm_page_table_test, and uses unified
time type CLOCK_MONOTONIC for start time.
