KVM allows KVM_GUEST_MEMFD_ALLOW_HUGEPAGE for guest memfd. When the
flag is set, KVM tries to allocate memory with transparent hugeapge at
first and falls back to non-hugepage on failure.
However, KVM defines one restriction that size must be hugepage size
aligned when KVM_GUEST_MEMFD_ALLOW_HUGEPAGE is set.
