Add a test case manipulating s390 storage keys from within the ucontrol

Storage key instruction (ISKE, SSKE and RRBE) intercepts and
Keyless-subset facility are disabled on first use, where the skeys are
setup by KVM in non ucontrol VMs.

There's a very important detail between KSS and the SKEY ICTLs:
KSS is (mostly) nullifying i.e. the PSW points to the instruction that caused the KSS exit. ICTL intercepts are suppressing which means the PSW points after the instruction and hence we need to rewind the PSW if we want to re-issue the instruction.

Re-winding on a KSS intercept makes the guest cpu execute the instruction before the intercept producing instruction twice.
