KVM: selftests: Load per-vCPU guest stack in TDX boot parameters

This commit allocates a guest stack for each vCPU and records its GVA in
the TDX boot parameters region. This allows proper vCPU initialization.

[Severity: Medium]
Will this lead to an out-of-bounds array access in
tdx_vcpu_load_boot_parameters() if a test uses a sparse vcpu->id?

The boot parameters region appears to allocate memory for exactly
nr_runnable_vcpus instances of struct td_per_vcpu_parameters in
tdx_vm_setup_boot_parameters_region():

    size_t boot_params_size = sizeof(struct td_boot_parameters) +
        nr_runnable_vcpus * sizeof(struct td_per_vcpu_parameters);

Since vcpu->id represents the KVM vCPU ID (which can be the APIC ID on x86)
and can be larger than or equal to nr_runnable_vcpus, could this write beyond
the allocated bounds and corrupt adjacent host memory and guest physical pages?

This could be triggered if a selftest creating a TDX VM specifies a sparse
vcpu->id that is larger than or equal to the total number of runnable vCPUs
passed to vm_create().

[Severity: Medium]
Does this bounds check in tdx_vcpu_load_boot_parameters() actually work, or is
the value silently truncated before the check?

Because kvm_allocate_vcpu_stack() returns a 64-bit gva_t, assigning it
to vcpu_params->esp_gva truncates the value to 32 bits since esp_gva is
declared as a u32.

The TEST_ASSERT then evaluates the already truncated 32-bit value against
(1ULL << 32), which will always be true. Could this bypass the intended
safety check and cause silent stack corruption and test failures instead of
an explicit assertion failure?

This could be triggered if a selftest allocates enough memory such that the
guest stack virtual address exceeds 4GB.
