Teach selftests' ioctl() macros to detect and report when an ioctl() unexpectedly fails because KVM has killed and/or bugged the VM. Because selftests does the right thing and tries to gracefully clean up VMs, a bugged VM can generate confusing errors, e.g. when deleting memslots. v2: - Drop the ARM patch (not worth the churn). - Drop macros for ioctls() that return file descriptors. Looking at this with fresh eyes, I agree they do more harm than good.
