[RFC PATCH v1 2/9] 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
and pre-faulted.
