KSM is enabled by default when the qemu-kvm-common-rhev package is
installed. We don't want KSM to run in KVM-RT nor cpu-partitioning
hosts, as it can cause spikes or packet drops.
This series disables KSM in those profiles when they are activated.
Likewise, we re-enable KSM when the profile is de-activated in
case it's enabled by default in systemd.

This commit introduces functions to create and delete the
kvm modprobe file used by the realtime profiles.
This is needed because the cpu-partitioning profile wants
the same modprobe file for kvm.

Upon stop action the script is called the following way:
script.sh stop [$HINT]
$HINT is not used if the stop is result of tuned
shutdown. $HINT is set to "profile_switch" if the stop is
result of profile switch.

E.g.:
$ cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
noop [deadline] cfq
The 'save_sys' function needs to save 'deadline', not 'noop [deadline] cfq'.

Added 'verify' shell function to the 'functions' API. This
function is optional, if defined in the script, it is called
during the verification. It's return code is checked. Function
return code '0' means verification passed, other value means
failure.

Some filesystems that are mounted multiple times cannot
be remounted with different options. The error may
confuse users, thus it is better to silence it.
