If, for some reason, we're able to launch cloud hypervisor but not able
to boot the VM up, the virtiofsd process would be left behind.
Let's ensure, via defer, that we stop virtiofsd in case of errors.

kata-containers/pulls#3771 added TDX support for Cloud Hypervisor, but
two big things got overlooked while doing that.
1. virtio-fs, as of now, cannot be part of the trust boundary, so the
Confidential Guest will not be using it.
2. virtio-block hotplug should be enabled in order to use virtio-block
for the rootfs (used with the devmapper plugin).
When trying to use cloud-hypervisor with TDX using virtio-fs, we're
facing the following error on the guest kernel:
```
virtiofs virtio2: device must provide VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM
```
After checking and double-checking with virtiofs and cloud-hypervisor
developers, it happens as confidential containers might put some
limitations on the device, so it can't access all of the guests' memory
and that's where this restriction seems to be coming from. Vivek
mentioned that virtiofsd do not support VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM (aka
VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM) yet, and that for ecrypted guests virtiofs may
not be the best solution at the moment.
@sboeuf put this in a very nice way: "if the virtio-fs driver doesn't
support VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM, then the pages corresponding to the
virtqueues and the buffers won't be marked as SHARED, meaning the VMM
won't have access to it".
Interestingly enough, it works with QEMU, and it may be due to some
change done on the patched QEMU that @devimc is packaging, but we won't
take the path to figure out what was the change and patch
cloud-hypervisor on the same way, because of 1.

allocate_hugepages() writes to the kernel sysfs file to allocate hugepages
in the Kata VM. However, even if the write succeeds, it's not certain that
the kernel will actually be able to allocate as many hugepages as we
requested.
This patch reads back the file after writing it to check if we were able to
allocate all the required hugepages.

allocate_hugepages() constructs the path for the sysfs directory containing
hugepage configuration, then attempts to create this directory if it does
not exist.
This doesn't make sense: sysfs is a view into kernel configuration, if the
kernel has support for the hugepage size, the directory will already be
there, if it doesn't, trying to create it won't help.
For the same reason, attempting to create the "nr_hugepages" file
itself is pointless, so there's no reason to call
OpenOptions::create(true).

Relying on virtio-block is the *only* way to use Firecracker with Kata
Containers, as shared FS (virtio-{fs,fs-nydus,9p}) is not supported by
Firecracker.
As configuration doesn't make sense to be exposed, we hardcode the
`false` value in the Firecracker configuration structure.
