[PATCH RFC v4 07/44] KVM: guest_memfd: Only prepare folios for private pages

All-shared guest_memfd used to be only supported for non-CoCo VMs where
preparation doesn't apply. INIT_SHARED is about to be supported for
non-CoCo VMs in a later patch in this series.

In addition, KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES2 is about to be supported in
guest_memfd in a later patch in this series.

This means that the kvm fault handler may now call kvm_gmem_get_pfn() on a
shared folio for a CoCo VM where preparation applies.

Add a check to make sure that preparation is only performed for private
folios.

Preparation will be undone on freeing (see kvm_gmem_free_folio()) and on
conversion to shared.
