KVM: selftests: Allow many vCPUs and reader threads per UFFD in demand paging test

At the moment, demand_paging_test does not support profiling/testing
multiple vCPU threads concurrently faulting on a single uffd because

    (a) "-u" (run test in userfaultfd mode) creates a uffd for each vCPU's
        region, so that each uffd services a single vCPU thread.
    (b) "-u -o" (userfaultfd mode + overlapped vCPU memory accesses)
        simply doesn't work: the test tries to register the same memory
        to multiple uffds, causing an error.

Add support for many vcpus per uffd by
    (1) Keeping "-u" behavior unchanged.
    (2) Making "-u -a" create a single uffd for all of guest memory.
    (3) Making "-u -o" implicitly pass "-a", solving the problem in (b).
In cases (2) and (3) all vCPU threads fault on a single uffd.

With potentially multiple vCPUs per UFFD, it makes sense to allow
configuring the number of reader threads per UFFD as well: add the "-r"
flag to do so.
