[PATCH v2 32/32] gpu: nova-core: vgpu: export plugin log buffers via debugfs

[Zhi Wang <zhiw@nvidia.com>]

Expose the three per-VM GSP plugin log buffers (init, vgpu, kernel)
through debugfs so that nvlog_decoder can decode them at runtime.

Each log file is backed by VRAM in the management heap and read via
BAR1 MMIO. Prepend the GSP log header when a firmware build ID is
available.
