If __setup_vm() is changed to setup_vm(), KUT will build tests with PT_USER_MASK 
set on all PTEs. It is a better idea to move nNPT tests to their own file so 
that tests don't need to fiddle with page tables midway.

The quick approach to do this would be to turn the current main into a small 
helper, without calling __setup_vm() from helper.

setup_mmu_range() function in vm.c was modified to allocate new user pages to
implement nested page table.

Current implementation of nested page table does the page table build up 
statistically with 2048 PTEs and one pml4 entry. With newly implemented 
routine, nested page table can be implemented dynamically based on the RAM
size of VM which enables us to have separate memory ranges to test various npt 
test cases.

Based on this implementation, minimal changes were required to be done in
below mentioned existing APIs:
npt_get_pde(), npt_get_pte(), npt_get_pdpe().

v1 -> v2
Added new patch for building up a nested page table dynamically and did minimal
changes required to make it adaptable with old test cases.

v2 -> v3
Added new patch to change setup_mmu_range to use it in implementation of nested
page table.
Added new patch to correct identation errors in svm.c, svm_npt.c and svm_tests.c
