Patch series "liveupdate: prevent double preservation", v4.

Currently, LUO does not prevent the same file from being managed twice
across different active sessions.

Because LUO preserves files of absolutely different types: memfd, and
upcoming vfiofd [1], iommufd [2], guestmefd (and possible kvmfd/cpufd).
There is no common private data or guarantee on how to prevent that the
same file is not preserved twice beside using inode or some slower and
expensive method like hashtables.


This patch (of 4)

Currently, LUO does not prevent the same file from being managed twice
across different active sessions.

Use a global xarray luo_preserved_files to keep track of file identifiers
being preserved by LUO.  Update luo_preserve_file() to check and insert
the file identifier into this xarray when it is preserved, and erase it in
luo_file_unpreserve_files() when it is released.

To allow handlers to define what constitutes a "unique" file (e.g.,
different struct file objects pointing to the same hardware resource), add
a get_id() callback to struct liveupdate_file_ops.  If not provided, the
default identifier is the struct file pointer itself.

This ensures that the same file (or resource) cannot be managed by
multiple sessions.  If another session attempts to preserve an already
managed file, it will now fail with -EBUSY.
