In preparation to introducing RWX memory attributes, make sure
user-space is attempting to install a memory attribute with
KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_PRIVATE before throwing a warning on systems with
no private memory support.

It's probably worth making this check generic straightaway, e.g. build and then
check the set of allowed attributes, similar to how check_memory_region_flags()
builds and checks the set of allowed flags.
