minor nit:

Changes since v14:
   * Switch to guest_memfd in-place memory conversion and drop support
     for KVM_VM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES.

Changes since v13:
  * Also update documentation to show that KVM_CAP_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES is
    used on arm64.
Changes since v12:
  * Only define kvm_arch_has_private_mem() when
    CONFIG_KVM_GENERIC_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES is set to avoid build issues
    when KVM is disabled.
Changes since v10:
  * KVM_GENERIC_PRIVATE_MEM replacd with KVM_GENERIC_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES.
Changes since v9:
  * Drop the #ifdef CONFIG_KVM_PRIVATE_MEM guard from the definition of
    kvm_arch_has_private_mem()
Changes since v2:
  * Switch kvm_arch_has_private_mem() to a macro to avoid overhead of a
    function call.
  * Guard definitions of kvm_arch_{pre,post}_set_memory_attributes() with
    #ifdef CONFIG_KVM_GENERIC_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES.
  * Early out in kvm_arch_post_set_memory_attributes() if the WARN_ON
    should trigger.
