Add KVM guest_memfd support to RAMBlock so both normal hva based memory

Introduce new flag RAM_GUEST_MEMFD. When it's set, it calls KVM ioctl to
create private guest_memfd during RAMBlock setup.
Note, RAM_GUEST_MEMFD is supposed to be set for memory backends of
confidential guests, such as TDX VM. How and when to set it for memory
backends will be implemented in the following patches.
Can you elaborate (and add to the patch description if there is good
reason) why we need that flag and why we cannot simply rely on the VM
type instead to decide whether to allocate a guest_memfd or not?
