Would that also unlock virtio-mem by accident?
Hum, that's true. At present, the rdm in MR can only point to one
instance, thus if we unlock virtio-mem and try to use it with
guest_memfd, it would trigger assert in
memory_region_set_ram_discard_manager().
Maybe we need to add some explicit check in virtio-mem to exclude it
with guest_memfd at present?
Likely we should make memory_region_set_ram_discard_manager() fail if
there is already something, and handle it in the callers?
In case of virtio-mem, we'd have to undo what we did and fail realize().
In case of CC, we'd have to bail out in a different way.
Then, I think if we see new_block->guest_memfd here, that we can assume
that any coordinated discard corresponds to only the guest_memfd one,
not to anything else?
