KVM: Allow and advertise support for host mmap() on guest_memfd files
Now that all the x86 and arm64 plumbing for mmap() on guest_memfd is in place, allow userspace to set GUEST_MEMFD_FLAG_MMAP and advertise support via a new capability, KVM_CAP_GUEST_MEMFD_MMAP. The availability of this capability is determined per architecture, and its enablement for a specific guest_memfd instance is controlled by the GUEST_MEMFD_FLAG_MMAP flag at creation time. Update the KVM API documentation to detail the KVM_CAP_GUEST_MEMFD_MMAP capability, the associated GUEST_MEMFD_FLAG_MMAP, and provide essential information regarding support for mmap in guest_memfd.
