KVM: selftests: Assert in prepare_eptp() that nEPT is supported

Now that a VM isn't needed to check for nEPT support, assert that KVM
supports nEPT in prepare_eptp() instead of skipping the test, and push
the TEST_REQUIRE() check out to individual tests. The require+assert are
somewhat redundant and will incur some amount of ongoing maintenance
burden, but placing the "require" logic in the test makes it easier to
find/understand a test's requirements and in this case, provides a very
strong hint that the test cares about nEPT.

KVM: selftests: Rename perf_test_util symbols to memstress

Replace the perf_test_ prefix on symbol names with memstress_ to match
the new file name.

"memstress" better describes the functionality proveded by this library,
which is to provide functionality for creating and running a VM that
stresses VM memory by reading and writing to guest memory on all vCPUs
in parallel.

"memstress" also contains the same number of chracters as "perf_test",
making it a drop-in replacement in symbols, e.g. function names, without
impacting line lengths. Also the lack of underscore between "mem" and
"stress" makes it clear "memstress" is a noun.

KVM: selftests: Rename perf_test_util.[ch] to memstress.[ch]

Rename the perf_test_util.[ch] files to memstress.[ch]. Symbols are
renamed in the following commit to reduce the amount of churn here in
hopes of playiing nice with git's file rename detection.

The name "memstress" was chosen to better describe the functionality
proveded by this library, which is to create and run a VM that
reads/writes to guest memory on all vCPUs in parallel.

"memstress" also contains the same number of chracters as "perf_test",
making it a drop-in replacement in symbols, e.g. function names, without
impacting line lengths. Also the lack of underscore between "mem" and
"stress" makes it clear "memstress" is a noun.
