KVM: guest_memfd: Track guest_memfd mmap support in memslot

Add a new internal flag, KVM_MEMSLOT_GMEM_ONLY, to the top half of
memslot->flags (which makes it strictly for KVM's internal use). This
flag tracks when a guest_memfd-backed memory slot supports host
userspace mmap operations, which implies that all memory, not just
private memory for CoCo VMs, is consumed through guest_memfd: "gmem
only".

This optimization avoids repeatedly checking the underlying guest_memfd
file for mmap support, which would otherwise require taking and
releasing a reference on the file for each check. By caching this
information directly in the memslot, we reduce overhead and simplify the
logic involved in handling guest_memfd-backed pages for host mappings.
