[PATCH] hv/hv_kvp_daemon: Enable debug logs for hv_kvp_daemon

From: Shradha Gupta
Date: Mon Mar 24 2025 - 03:16:42 EST


Allow the KVP daemon to log the KVP updates triggered in the VM
with a new debug flag(-d).
When the daemon is started with this flag, it logs updates and debug
information in /var/log/kvp_debug_file.log. This information comes
in handy for debugging issues where the key-value pairs for certain
pools show mismatch/incorrect values.
