kvm: defer huge page recovery vhost task to later
Some libraries want to ensure they are single threaded before forking, so making the kernel's kvm huge page recovery process a vhost task of the user process breaks those. The minijail library used by crosvm is one such affected application. Defer the task to after the first VM_RUN call, which occurs after the parent process has forked all its jailed processes. This needs to happen only once for the kvm instance, so introduce some general-purpose infrastructure for that, too. It's similar in concept to pthread_once; except it is actually usable, because the callback takes a parameter.
