Add two test cases to the guest_memfd conversions selftest to cover
the scenario where a conversion is requested before any memory has been
allocated in the guest_memfd region.

The KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES2 ioctl can be called on a memory region at
any time. If the guest had not yet faulted in any pages for that region,
the kernel must record the conversion request and apply the requested state
when the pages are eventually allocated.

The new tests cover both conversion directions.
