[PATCH v4 01/11] liveupdate: Add LIVEUPDATE_GUEST_MEMFD config option

[Tarun Sahu]

Introduce the LIVEUPDATE_GUEST_MEMFD Kconfig option. This option
enables live update support for KVM guest_memfd files, enabling
guest_memfd-backed memory preservation across kernel upgrades.

Currently this support only guest_memfd files that are full-shared
(INIT_SHARED and no support for private_mem).
