kvm: defer huge page recovery vhost task to later

Some libraries want to ensure they are single threaded before forking,
so making the kernel's kvm huge page recovery process a vhost task of
the user process breaks those. The minijail library used by crosvm is
one such affected application.

Defer the task to after the first VM_RUN call, which occurs after the
parent process has forked all its jailed processes. This needs to happen
only once for the kvm instance, so introduce some general-purpose
infrastructure for that, too.  It's similar in concept to pthread_once;
except it is actually usable, because the callback takes a parameter.
