KVM gets notified through memfd_notifier when user space allocate space
via fallocate() on the fd which is used for guest memory. KVM can set up
the mapping in the secondary MMU page tables at this time. This patch
adds function in KVM to map pfn to gfn when the page is allocated in the
memory backend.
While it's possible to postpone the mapping of the secondary MMU to KVM
page fault handler but we can reduce some VMExits by also mapping the
secondary page tables when a page is mapped in the primary MMU.
It reuses the same code for kvm_memfd_invalidate_range, except using
kvm_map_gfn_range as its handler.
