KVM: selftests: Adjust VM's initial stack address to align with SysV ABI spec
Align the guest stack to match calling sequence requirements in section "The Stack Frame" of the System V ABI AMD64 Architecture Processor Supplement, which requires the value (%rsp + 8), NOT %rsp, to be a multiple of 16 when control is transferred to the function entry point. I.e. in a normal function call, %rsp needs to be 16-byte aligned _before_ CALL, not after. This fixes unexpected #GPs in guest code when the compiler uses SSE instructions, e.g. to initialize memory, as many SSE instructions require memory operands (including those on the stack) to be 16-byte-aligned.
