Introduce a generic kvm_mem_is_private() interface using a static call to
determine if a GFN is private. This allows the implementation for checking
a GFN's private/shared status to be set at runtime.

In preparation for choosing implementations between a guest_memfd lookup
and the existing VM attribute lookup, rename the existing
VM-attribute-based check to kvm_vm_mem_is_private to emphasize that it
looks up VM attributes.

Should have read the Sashiko review first, but where is this used?
It's not used at all in this series...
