When creating a guest_memfd file and associated memslot to validate shared
guest memory, size the file+memslot to the maximum of the host or guest
page size.  Attempting to allocate a single guest page will fail if the
host page size is greater than the guest page size, as KVM requires that
the size of memslots and guest_memfd files are a multiple of the host page
size.

For simplicity, verify the entire file can be shared between guest and host,
e.g. instead of trying to validate "partial" mappings.
