Disallow moving memslots if the VM has external page-track users, i.e. if
KVMGT is being used to expose a virtual GPU to the guest, as KVMGT doesn't
correctly handle moving memory regions.
Note, this is potential ABI breakage! E.g. userspace could move regions
that aren't shadowed by KVMGT without harming the guest. However, the
only known user of KVMGT is QEMU, and QEMU doesn't move generic memory
This change breaks two kvm selftests:
- set_memory_region_test;

Please help confirm if the tests/doc needs to be updated,
or if the assumption needs to be further clarified.
regions. KVM's own support for moving memory regions was also broken for
multiple years (albeit for an edge case, but arguably moving RAM is
itself an edge case), e.g. see commit edd4fa37baa6 ("KVM: x86: Allocate
new rmap and large page tracking when moving memslot").
