Add a command line option to dirty_log_perf_test to run vCPUs for the entire duration of disabling dirty logging. By default, the test stops running runs vCPUs before disabling dirty logging, which is faster but less interesting as it doesn't stress KVM's handling of contention between page faults and the zapping of collapsible SPTEs. Enabling the flag also lets the user verify that KVM is indeed rebuilding zapped SPTEs as huge pages by checking KVM's pages_{1g,2m,4k} stats. Without vCPUs to fault in the zapped SPTEs, the stats will show that KVM is zapping pages, but they never show whether or not KVM actually allows huge pages to be recreated. Note! Enabling the flag can _significantly_ increase runtime, especially if the thread that's disabling dirty logging doesn't have a dedicated pCPU, e.g. if all pCPUs are used to run vCPUs.
