IIUC, we have 2 dedicated flows.
1 kvm_gmem_get_pfn() or kvm_gmem_allocate()
a. kvm_gmem_get_folio()
b. gmem_prepare() for RMP

2 in-place encryption or whatever
a. kvm_gmem_get_folio(FGP_CREAT_ONLY)
b. in-place encryption
c. gmem_prepare() for RMP

Could we move gmem_prepare() out of kvm_gmem_get_folio(), then we could
have straightforward flow for each case, and don't have to have an
argument to pospone gmem_prepare().

In which case HAVE_KVM_GMEM_PREPARE is selected but
gmem_prepare_needed() is never implemented? Then all gmem_prepare stuff
are actually dead code. Maybe we don't need this weak stub?

Do we still need to prepare the page if it is hwpoisoned? I see the
hwpoisoned check is outside, in kvm_gmem_get_pfn().
