Add a flag to the KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD ioctl that causes gmem pfns
to be removed from the host kernel's direct map. Memory is removed
immediately after allocation and preparation of gmem folios (after
preparation, as the prepare callback might expect the direct map entry
to be present). Direct map entries are restored before
kvm_arch_gmem_invalidate is called (as ->invalidate_folio is called
before ->free_folio), for the same reason.
Use the PG_private flag to indicate that a folio is part of gmem with
direct map removal enabled. While in this patch, PG_private does have a
meaning of "folio not in direct map", this will no longer be true in
follow up patches. Gmem folios might get temporarily reinserted into the
direct map, but the PG_private flag needs to remain set, as the folios
will have private data that needs to be freed independently of direct
map status. This is why kvm_gmem_folio_clear_private does not call
folio_clear_private.
kvm_gmem_{set,clear}_folio_private must be called with the folio lock
held.
To ensure that failures in kvm_gmem_{clear,set}_private do not cause
system instability due to leaving holes in the direct map, try to always
restore direct map entries on failure. Pages for which restoration of
direct map entries fails are marked as HWPOISON, to prevent the
kernel from ever touching them again.
