KVM: selftests: Have perf_test_util signal when to stop vCPUs

Signal that a test run is complete through perf_test_args instead of
having tests open code a similar solution. Ensure that the field resets
to false at the beginning of a test run as the structure is reused
between test runs, eliminating a couple of bugs:

access_tracking_perf_test hangs indefinitely on a subsequent test run,
as 'done' remains true. The bug doesn't amount to much right now, as x86
supports a single guest mode. However, this is a precondition of
enabling the test for other architectures with >1 guest mode, like
arm64.

memslot_modification_stress_test has the exact opposite problem, where
subsequent test runs complete immediately as 'run_vcpus' remains false.
