Add flags to "struct kvm_gfn_range" to let notifier events target only
shared and only private mappings, and write up the existing mmu_notifier
events to be shared-only (private memory is never associated with a
userspace virtual address, i.e. can't be reached via mmu_notifiers).

Add two flags so that KVM can handle the three possibilities (shared,
private, and shared+private) without needing something like a tri-state
enum.
I see the two flags are set/cleared in __kvm_handle_hva_range() in this patch
and kvm_handle_gfn_range() from the later patch 13/35, but I didn't see they
are used/read in this patch series if I didn't miss anything.  How are they
supposed to be used in KVM?
