KVM/vfio: Use file-based reference counting for KVM

Replace manual module reference counting with file-based reference
counting for KVM integration. Previously, VFIO used symbol_get() to
obtain function pointers for kvm_get_kvm_safe() and kvm_put_kvm(),
then manually tracked module references through these symbols. This
approach required storing the put_kvm function pointer in each device
and carefully managing symbol references.

Pass struct file pointers instead of struct kvm pointers throughout the
VFIO-KVM interface, leveraging the kernel's existing file reference
counting via get_file()/get_file_active() and fput(). Convert the x86
page-track API and update s390 vfio to use file_to_kvm_<arch>(). This
simplifies the code.
