KVM: selftests: Manage CPUID array in Hyper-V CPUID test's core helper
Allocate, get, and free the CPUID array in the Hyper-V CPUID test in the test's core helper, instead of copy+pasting code at each call site. In addition to deduplicating a small amount of code, restricting visibility of the array to a single invocation of the core test prevents "leaking" an array across test cases. Passing in @vcpu to the helper will also allow pivoting on VM-scoped information without needing to pass more booleans, e.g. to conditionally assert on features that require an in-kernel APIC. To avoid use-after-free bugs due to overzealous and careless developers, opportunstically add a comment to explain that the system-scoped helper caches the Hyper-V CPUID entries, i.e. that the caller is not responsible for freeing the memory.
