Besides controlling the unmapping here, kvm_arch_has_private_mem() is
also used to gate the memslot KVM_MEM_PRIVATE flag in patch09. I know
unmapping is confirmed unnecessary for pKVM, but how about
KVM_MEM_PRIVATE? Will pKVM add its own flag or reuse KVM_MEM_PRIVATE?
If the answer is the latter, then yes we should use a different check
which only works for confidential usages here.
