From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com> Rename memory attribute APIs to add a "vm_" in the name in anticipation of moving PRIVATE tracking into guest_memfd, to allow in-place conversion between SHARED and PRIVATE. At that point, there will effectively be two (potential) sources of memory attributes: the VM and guest_memfd. kvm_vm_set_mem_attributes() already has "vm" in the name to indicate that it is a VM ioctl. Rename it to kvm_set_vm_mem_attributes() to show that it is setting the VM's memory attributes. (Drop the VM-ioctl scoping since it is a helper local to the file.) Update the accompanying trace function to match. No functional change intended.
