This series adds restricted mmap() support to guest_memfd, as well as
support for guest_memfd on arm64. Please see v3 for the context [1].

Main changes since v5 [2]:
- Freeze folio refcounts when checking them to avoid races (Kirill,
  Vlastimili, Ackerley)
- Handle invalidation (e.g., on truncation) of potentially shared memory
  (Ackerley)
- Rebased on the `KVM: Mapping guest_memfd backed memory at the host for
  software protected VMs` series [3], which entails renaming of MAPPABLE
  to SHAREABLE and a rebase on Linux 6.14-rc7.

The state diagram that uses the new states in this patch series,
and how they would interact with sharing/unsharing in pKVM [4].

Cheers,

Fuad Tabba (5):
  KVM: guest_memfd: Introduce kvm_gmem_get_pfn_locked(), which retains
    the folio lock
  KVM: guest_memfd: Folio sharing states and functions that manage their
    transition
  KVM: guest_memfd: Restore folio state after final folio_put()
  KVM: guest_memfd: Handle invalidation of shared memory
  KVM: guest_memfd: Add a guest_memfd() flag to initialize it as shared
