[PATCH v3 13/14] KVM: s390: pv: add OOM notifier for lazy destroy

Add a per-VM OOM notifier for lazy destroy.

When a protected VM is undergoing deferred teardown, register an OOM
notifier. This allows an OOM situation to be handled by just waiting a
little.

The background cleanup deferred destroy process will now keep a running
tally of the amount of pages freed. The asynchronous OOM notifier will
check the number of pages freed before and after waiting. The OOM
notifier will wait 10ms, and then report the number of pages freed by
the deferred destroy mechanism during that time.

If at least 1024 pages have already been freed in the current OOM
situation, no action is taken by the OOM notifier and no wait is
performed. This avoids excessive waiting times in case many VMs are
being destroyed at the same time, once enough memory has been freed.
