[RFC PATCH v1 16/42] vbs: Add HEKI kernel sealing and fix KVM plane memory attribute guards

Implement Hypervisor-Enforced Kernel Integrity (HEKI) — the plane-0
guest kernel automatically seals its text and rodata sections at
late_initcall time by sending their GPAs to QEMU via the VBS VTL
call mechanism.

Guest-side changes:
- security/vbs/core.c: Add vbs_heki_late_init() as a late_initcall
  that calls ops->init() to set up the VBS backend (allocate the
  shared CAA page, send VBS_CALL_INIT), then calls vbs_seal_kernel()
  to request kernel text/rodata protection.

- security/vbs/kvm_planes.c: Implement kvm_planes_seal_kernel() to
  build a vbs_seal_kernel_req with page-aligned text/rodata GPAs
  and CR3, sent via VBS_CALL_SEAL_KERNEL to QEMU.

- security/vbs/heki.h (new): Shared HEKI data structures
  (vbs_seal_kernel_req, vbs_protect_memory_req) and x86-64 page
  table walker callback interface.

- security/vbs/heki.c (new): x86-64 4-level page table walker
  for plane-1 auditing of plane-0 mappings. Classifies pages as
  TEXT/RODATA/DATA_RW/DATA_RX based on PTE permission bits.

- security/vbs/Kconfig: Add CONFIG_VBS_HEKI option.
- security/vbs/Makefile: Build heki.o when CONFIG_VBS_HEKI=y.

Host-side fix:
- virt/kvm/kvm_main.c: Replace CONFIG_KVM_MAX_NR_VCPU_PLANES
  (which had no Kconfig definition and was never set) with
  CONFIG_VM_PLANES in the three #ifdef guards protecting
  KVM_SET_PLANE_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES ioctl and NO_WRITE/NO_EXEC
  attribute support. Without this fix the ioctl returned -ENOTTY.
