[RFC 05/11] KVM: Expose VM/VCPU creation functions

[Florent Revest]

Now that KVM is capable of creating internal virtual machines, the rest of
the kernel needs an API to access this capability.

This patch exposes two functions for VMs and VCPUs creation in kvm_host.h:
 - kvm_create_internal_vm: ensures that kvm->mm is kept NULL at VM creation
 - kvm_vm_create_vcpu: simple alias of kvm_vm_ioctl_create_vcpu for clarity
