Subject: [PATCH 3/9] KVM: selftests: Add pthread_attr_setaffinity_np fallback

The pthread_attr_setaffinity_np function is a GNU extension that may not
be available in non-glibc C libraries. Some KVM selftests use this
function for CPU affinity control.

Add a function declaration and weak stub implementation for non-glibc
builds. This allows tests to build, with the affinity setting being a
no-op and errno set for the caller when the actual function is not available.
