On arm and arm64, kvm-unit-tests uses the QEMU chr-testdev device to shut
down the virtual machine at the end of a test. The function
psci_system_off() provides another mechanism for terminating the virtual
machine. If the chr-testdev device hasn't been initialized successfully,
then use psci_system_off() to terminate the test instead of
chr_testdev_exit().

chr-testdev is implemented on top of virtio console. This patch makes it
possible for a virtual machine manager which doesn't have support for
chr-testdev, but has been configured not to emulate a virtio console, to
gracefully terminate a virtual machine after a test has been completed.

There is one limitation to using psci_system_off() to terminate a test:
chr-testdev allows kvm-unit-tests to specify an exit code;
psci_system_off() has no such mechanism.
