Intra host migration provides a low-cost mechanism for userspace VMM
upgrades.  It is an alternative to traditional (i.e., remote) live
migration. Whereas remote migration handles moving a guest to a new host,
intra host migration only handles moving a guest to a new userspace VMM
within a host.  This can be used to update, rollback, change flags of the
VMM, etc. The lower cost compared to live migration comes from the fact
that the guest's memory does not need to be copied between processes. A
handle to the guest memory simply gets passed to the new VMM, this could
be done via /dev/shm with share=on or similar feature.

The guest state can be transferred from an old VMM to a new VMM as follows:
1. Export guest state from KVM to the old user-space VMM via a getter
user-space/kernel API 2. Transfer guest state from old VMM to new VMM via
IPC communication 3. Import guest state into KVM from the new user-space
VMM via a setter user-space/kernel API VMMs by exporting from KVM using
getters, sending that data to the new VMM, then setting it again in KVM.

In the common case for intra host migration, we can rely on the normal
ioctls for passing data from one VMM to the next. SEV, SEV-ES, and other
confidential compute environments make most of this information opaque, and
render KVM ioctls such as "KVM_GET_REGS" irrelevant.  As a result, we need
the ability to pass this opaque metadata from one VMM to the next. The
easiest way to do this is to leave this data in the kernel, and transfer
ownership of the metadata from one KVM VM (or vCPU) to the next. For
example, we need to move the SEV enabled ASID, VMSAs, and GHCB metadata
from one VMM to the next.  In general, we need to be able to hand off any
data that would be unsafe/impossible for the kernel to hand directly to
userspace (and cannot be reproduced using data that can be handed safely to
userspace).

V9
 * Fix sev_lock_vcpus_for_migration from unlocking the vCPU mutex it
   failed to unlock.

V8
 * Update to require that @dst is not SEV or SEV-ES enabled.
 * Address selftest feedback.

V7
 * Address selftest feedback.

V6
 * Add selftest.

V5:
 * Fix up locking scheme
 * Address marcorr@ comments.

V4:
 * Move to seanjc@'s suggestion of source VM FD based single ioctl design.

v3:
 * Fix memory leak found by dan.carpenter@

v2:
 * Added marcorr@ reviewed by tag
 * Renamed function introduced in 1/3
 * Edited with seanjc@'s review comments
 ** Cleaned up WARN usage
 ** Userspace makes random token now
 * Edited with brijesh.singh@'s review comments
 ** Checks for different LAUNCH_* states in send function
