include/linux/virtio.h takes struct virtio_device_id from
<linux/device-id/virtio.h>, which the tools build cannot find.
Add a shim for it beside the others, pointing at the real header.
Fixes: ecca1d63c1ea ("Replace <linux/mod_devicetable.h> by more specific <linux/device-id/*.h> (headers)")

posix_memalign() returns zero or a positive error number and does not set
errno. virtio_test and vhost_net_test assert that the return is not
negative, which will always be true, and the userspace __get_free_page()
ignores it, so a failed allocation continues without setting the pointer
Assert a zero return in the tests, and return 0 from __get_free_page() on
failure, as the kernel's does.
