[sashiko-bot@kernel.org]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Low] The `guest_fn` parameter restricts the guest entry point type to `void (*)(void)`, deviating from the selftests standard `void *`.

KVM: arm64: selftests: Pass guest code to vm_gic_create_with_vcpus()

This commit adds a guest entry point parameter to vm_gic_create_with_vcpus()
and updates the existing call sites to pass guest_code. This allows tests
with different guest code to reuse the common VM and VGIC initialization
sequence.

[Severity: Low]
Does this unnecessarily restrict the guest entry point type?

The underlying kvm selftests API, such as vm_create_with_vcpus(), typically
uses a generic void pointer for the guest code. If a future test tries to
reuse this setup function and pass a parameterized guest code function, the
compiler might emit an incompatible pointer type warning.

Would it be better to change the type of guest_fn to void * to maintain API
consistency with the rest of the selftests framework?
