Subject: [PATCH v5 3/5] drm/virtgpu api: add blob userptr resource

From: Honglei Huang <Honglei1.Huang@....com>

Extend the virtgpu UAPI to support userptr blob resources, enabling
the host to directly access guest userspace memory without data
copying. This is essential for compute workloads where memcpy overhead
between host and guest is unacceptable.

UAPI Changes:
- Add VIRTGPU_BLOB_FLAG_USE_USERPTR flag to enable userptr mode
- Add VIRTGPU_BLOB_FLAG_USERPTR_RDONLY flag for read-only access
- Add 'userptr' field to drm_virtgpu_resource_create_blob structure
  to pass guest userspace virtual address

The userptr field contains the guest userspace virtual address that
will be pinned by the driver during resource creation and unpinned on
destruction. The driver validates the address, pins the pages, and
provides the physical addresses to the host via scatter-gather table.
