[PATCH] KVM: arm64: selftests: Check ID regs are immutable after a failed run

Newsgroups dev.linux.lists.kvmarm,org.infradead.lists.linux-arm-kernel,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
Add a set_id_regs case covering ID register immutability when a vCPU's
first KVM_RUN fails after finalization but before
KVM_ARCH_FLAG_HAS_RAN_ONCE is set. The test provokes such a failure with
a PMUv3-enabled vCPU whose PMU is left uninitialized, then checks that
KVM_SET_ONE_REG on an ID register and KVM_CREATE_DEVICE for a vGIC are
both rejected with -EBUSY.

Notes:
    This exercises the bug fixed by the KVM/arm64 ID register finalisation
    series and fails without it, so it should be applied on top of that
    series:
