Keith Busch 27f651d28f kvm: defer huge page recovery vhost task to later ...

commit 931656b9e2 upstream.

Some libraries want to ensure they are single threaded before forking,
so making the kernel's kvm huge page recovery process a vhost task of
the user process breaks those. The minijail library used by crosvm is
one such affected application.

Defer the task to after the first VM_RUN call, which occurs after the
parent process has forked all its jailed processes. This needs to happen
only once for the kvm instance, so introduce some general-purpose
infrastructure for that, too.  It's similar in concept to pthread_once;
except it is actually usable, because the callback takes a parameter.
