There's not really a "KVM service" as such.  It is a part of the
kernel is only used when you start a KVM guest.

In any case as it looks like you have VirtualBox running, my advice
would be to delete the /dev/kvm file, and try running
libguestfs-test-tool and/or virt-resize again.

  sudo rm /dev/kvm
