accel/kvm: Introduce kvm_create_and_park_vcpu() helper

There are distinct helpers for creating and parking a KVM vCPU.
However, there can be cases where a platform needs to create and
immediately park the vCPU during early stages of vcpu init which
can later be reused when vcpu thread gets initialized. This would
help detect failures with kvm_create_vcpu at an early stage.
