KVM: s390: interface to query and configure cpu subfunctions

We have certain instructions that indicate available subfunctions via
a query subfunction (crypto functions and ptff), or via a test bit
function (plo).

By exposing these "subfunction blocks" to user space, we allow user space
to
1) query available subfunctions and make sure subfunctions won't get lost
   during migration - e.g. properly indicate them via a CPU model
2) change the subfunctions to be reported to the guest (even adding
   unavailable ones)

This mechanism works just like the way we indicate the stfl(e) list to
user space.

This way, user space could even emulate some subfunctions in QEMU in the
future. If this is ever applicable, we have to make sure later on, that
unsupported subfunctions result in an intercept to QEMU.

Please note that support to indicate them to the guest is still missing
and requires hardware support. Usually, the IBC takes already care of these
subfunctions for migration safety. QEMU should make sure to always set
these bits properly according to the machine generation to be emulated.

Available subfunctions are only valid in combination with STFLE bits
retrieved via KVM_S390_VM_CPU_MACHINE and enabled via
KVM_S390_VM_CPU_PROCESSOR. If the applicable bits are available, the
indicated subfunctions are guaranteed to be correct.

2.5. ATTRIBUTE: KVM_S390_VM_CPU_MACHINE_SUBFUNC (r/o)
Allows user space to retrieve available cpu subfunctions without any filtering
done by a set IBC. These subfunctions are indicated to the guest VCPU via
query or "test bit" subfunctions and used e.g. by cpacf functions, plo and ptff.
A subfunction block is only valid if KVM_S390_VM_CPU_MACHINE contains the
STFL(E) bit introducing the affected instruction. If the affected instruction
indicates subfunctions via a "query subfunction", the response block is
contained in the returned struct. If the affected instruction
indicates subfunctions via a "test bit" mechanism, the subfunction codes are
contained in the returned struct in MSB 0 bit numbering.

2.6. ATTRIBUTE: KVM_S390_VM_CPU_PROCESSOR_SUBFUNC (r/w)
Allows user space to retrieve or change cpu subfunctions to be indicated for
all VCPUs of a VM. This attribute will only be available if kernel and
hardware support are in place.
The kernel uses the configured subfunction blocks for indication to
the guest. A subfunction block will only be used if the associated STFL(E) bit
has not been disabled by user space (so the instruction to be queried is
actually available for the guest).
As long as no data has been written, a read will fail. The IBC will be used
to determine available subfunctions in this case, this will guarantee backward
compatibility.
See 2.5. for a description of the parameter struct.
Parameters: address of a buffer to store/load the subfunction blocks from.
Returns: -EFAULT if the given address is not accessible from kernel space.
-EINVAL when reading, if there was no write yet.
-EBUSY if at least one VCPU has already been defined.
0 in case of success.
