[PATCH 35/34] KVM: Prepare for handling only shared mappings in mmu_notifier events

From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc at google.com>
Add flags to "struct kvm_gfn_range" to let notifier events target only
shared and only private mappings, and write up the existing mmu_notifier
events to be shared-only (private memory is never associated with a
userspace virtual address, i.e. can't be reached via mmu_notifiers).
Add two flags so that KVM can handle the three possibilities (shared,
private, and shared+private) without needing something like a tri-state
enum.
