[PATCH v13 17/35] KVM: Add transparent hugepage support for dedicated guest memory

Extended guest_memfd to allow backing guest memory with transparent
hugepages.  Require userspace to opt-in via a flag even though there's no
known/anticipated use case for forcing small pages as THP is optional,
i.e. to avoid ending up in a situation where userspace is unaware that
KVM can't provide hugepages.

For simplicity, require the guest_memfd size to be a multiple of the
hugepage size, e.g. so that KVM doesn't need to do bounds checking when
deciding whether or not to allocate a huge folio.

When reporting the max order when KVM gets a pfn from guest_memfd, force
order-0 pages if the hugepage is not fully contained by the memslot
binding, e.g. if userspace requested hugepages but punches a hole in the
memslot bindings in order to emulate x86's VGA hole.

 Conceptually, the inode backing a guest_memfd file represents physical memory,
