[PATCH net-next v2 1/2] selftests/vsock: fix vmtest.sh for read-only nested VM runners

[Bobby Eshleman <bobbyeshleman@gmail.com>]

From: Bobby Eshleman <bobbyeshleman@meta.com>

When running vmtest.sh inside a nested VM, there occurs a problem
with stacking two sets of virtiofs/overlay layers (the first set from
the outer VM and the second set from the inner VM). The virtme init
scripts (sshd, udhcpd, etc...) fail to execute basic programs (e.g.,
/bin/cat) and load library dependencies (e.g., libpam) due to ESTALE.
This only occurs when both layers (outer and inner) use virtiofs. Work
around this by using 9p in the inner VM via --force-9p.

Additionally, when the outer VM is read-only, the inner VM's attempt at
populating SSH keys to the root filesystem fails:

virtme-ng-init: mkdir: cannot create directory '/root/.cache': Read-only file system

Work around this by creating a temporary home directory with generated
SSH keys and passing it through to the guest as /root via --rwdir.
Disable strict host key checking in vm_ssh() since the VM will be seen
as a new host each run.

The --rw arg had to be removed to prevent a vng complaint about overlay
(in combination with the other parameters). The guest doesn't really
need write access anyway, so this was probably overly permissive to
begin with.
