For VMs that allow sharing guest_memfd backed memory in-place,
handle that memory the same as "private" guest_memfd memory. This
means that faulting that memory in the host or in the guest will
go through the guest_memfd subsystem.

Note that the word "private" in the name of the function
kvm_mem_is_private() doesn't necessarily indicate that the memory
isn't shared, but is due to the history and evolution of
guest_memfd and the various names it has received. In effect,
this function is used to multiplex between the path of a normal
page fault and the path of a guest_memfd backed page fault.
