[PATCH RFC v4 30/44] KVM: selftests: Test that truncation does not change shared/private status

Add a test to verify that deallocating a page in a guest memfd region via
fallocate() with FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE does not alter the shared or private
status of the corresponding memory range.

When a page backing a guest memfd mapping is deallocated, e.g., by punching
a hole or truncating the file, and then subsequently faulted back in, the
new page must inherit the correct shared/private status tracked by
guest_memfd.
