Move some helper functions from dirty_log_perf_test.c to the memstress
library so that they can be used in a future commit which tests page
splitting during dirty logging.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvmarm/kvmarm into HEAD
KVM/arm64 updates for 6.2
- Enable the per-vcpu dirty-ring tracking mechanism, together with an
option to keep the good old dirty log around for pages that are
dirtied by something other than a vcpu.
- Switch to the relaxed parallel fault handling, using RCU to delay
page table reclaim and giving better performance under load.
- Relax the MTE ABI, allowing a VMM to use the MAP_SHARED mapping
option, which multi-process VMMs such as crosvm rely on.
- Merge the pKVM shadow vcpu state tracking that allows the hypervisor
to have its own view of a vcpu, keeping that state private.
- Add support for the PMUv3p5 architecture revision, bringing support
for 64bit counters on systems that support it, and fix the
no-quite-compliant CHAIN-ed counter support for the machines that
actually exist out there.
- Fix a handful of minor issues around 52bit VA/PA support (64kB pages
only) as a prefix of the oncoming support for 4kB and 16kB pages.
- Add/Enable/Fix a bunch of selftests covering memslots, breakpoints,
stage-2 faults and access tracking. You name it, we got it, we
probably broke it.
- Pick a small set of documentation and spelling fixes, because no
good merge window would be complete without those.
As a side effect, this tag also drags:
- The 'kvmarm-fixes-6.1-3' tag as a dependency to the dirty-ring
series
- A shared branch with the arm64 tree that repaints all the system
registers to match the ARM ARM's naming, and resulting in
interesting conflicts

Replace the perf_test_ prefix on symbol names with memstress_ to match
the new file name.
"memstress" better describes the functionality proveded by this library,
which is to provide functionality for creating and running a VM that
stresses VM memory by reading and writing to guest memory on all vCPUs
in parallel.
"memstress" also contains the same number of chracters as "perf_test",
making it a drop-in replacement in symbols, e.g. function names, without
impacting line lengths. Also the lack of underscore between "mem" and
"stress" makes it clear "memstress" is a noun.

Rename the perf_test_util.[ch] files to memstress.[ch]. Symbols are
renamed in the following commit to reduce the amount of churn here in
hopes of playiing nice with git's file rename detection.

proveded by this library, which is to create and run a VM that
