A group of misc cleanups and fixups for SVM and VMX tests.
Disclaimer for patch 3: I have no idea why #UD was used to convey
failure from the guest when report() is usable, so I might have missed
something there.
Disclaimer for patch 4: I did not look too closely into why the flake is
happening. It seemed like there was an adhoc approach to stabilize the
test (shift duration by 24 bits), so I just made the necessary
adjustment to make the test stable on Turin.
This series is based on a different SVM series to avoid conflicts:

The check to skip the test is currently performed in the guest code.
There a few TEST_ASSERTs that happen before the guest is run, which
internally call report_passed(). The latter increases the number of
passed tests.
Hence, when vmx_pf_exception_test_fep is run, report_summary() does not
return a "skip" error code because the total number of tests is larger
than the number of skipped tests.
Skip early if FEP is not available, before any assertions, such that
report_summary() finds exactly 1 skipped test and returns the
appropriate error code.

When SVM tests are run, the log is a see of PASS/FAIL/SKIPs that are not
clearly separated by test. Sometimes it's hard to attribute a failure to
a specific test (e.g. if the same helper is reused by multiple tests).
Print the test name before running each test.

In LBRV tests, failures in the guest trigger a #UD and does not convey
useful debugging info (i.e. expected and actual values of MSRs). Replace
them with proper report() calls.
Admittedly, it is unclear why the choice of #UD was made given that
report() works fine in the guest.

On an AMT Turin (EPYC Zen 5), svm_tsc_scale_test flakes on the last test
case with 0.0001 TSC scaling ratio, even with the 24-bit shift for
stability. On failure, the actual value is 49 instead of the expected
50.
Use a higher scaling ratio, 0.001, which makes the test pass
consistently.
