Subject: [PATCH 12/18] KVM: selftests: Allocate x86's GDT during VM creation

Allocate the GDT during creation of non-barebones VMs instead of waiting
until the first vCPU is created, as the whole point of non-barebones VMs
is to be able to run vCPUs, i.e. the GDT is going to get allocated no
matter what.
