Subject: [PATCH] KVM: selftests: Check API version when creating VM

As it is said in the docs, we should always check the KVM API version
before running the KVM-based applications. Add the function which
queries the current KVM API version through `ioctl` to the `kvm_util.c`
file.

Add a new TEST_REQUIRE statement to the `vm_open` function in order
to verify the version of the KVM API before creating a VM.
