c15e5684071d93174e446be318f49d8d59b15d6d kvm: handle KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT
Upon an KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT exit, userspace needs to do the memory
conversion on the RAMBlock to turn the memory into desired attribute,
switching between private and shared.
Currently only KVM_MEMORY_EXIT_FLAG_PRIVATE in flags is valid when
KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT happens.
Note, KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT makes sense only when the RAMBlock has
guest_memfd memory backend.
Note, KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT returns with -EFAULT, so special handling is
added.
When page is converted from shared to private, the original shared
memory can be discarded via ram_block_discard_range(). Note, shared
memory can be discarded only when it's not back'ed by hugetlb because
hugetlb is supposed to be pre-allocated and no need for discarding.
