target/arm/kvm: Retry KVM_CREATE_VM call if it fails EINTR
Occasionally the KVM_CREATE_VM ioctl can return EINTR, even though
there is no pending signal to be taken. In commit 94ccff13382055
we added a retry-on-EINTR loop to the KVM_CREATE_VM call in the
generic KVM code. Adopt the same approach for the use of the
ioctl in the Arm-specific KVM code (where we use it to create a
scratch VM for probing for various things).
