Keith Busch 916b7f42b3 kvm: retry nx_huge_page_recovery_thread creation
A VMM may send a non-fatal signal to its threads, including vCPU tasks,
at any time, and thus may signal vCPU tasks during KVM_RUN.  If a vCPU
task receives the signal while its trying to spawn the huge page recovery
vhost task, then KVM_RUN will fail due to copy_process() returning
-ERESTARTNOINTR.

Rework call_once() to mark the call complete if and only if the called
function succeeds, and plumb the function's true error code back to the
call_once() invoker.  This provides userspace with the correct, non-fatal
error code so that the VMM doesn't terminate the VM on -ENOMEM, and allows
subsequent KVM_RUN a succeed by virtue of retrying creation of the NX huge
page task.
