Previously, guest-memfd allocations followed local NUMA node id in absence
of process mempolicy, resulting in arbitrary memory allocation.
Moreover, mbind() couldn't be used  by the VMM as guest memory wasn't
mapped into userspace when allocation occurred.

Enable NUMA policy support by implementing vm_ops for guest-memfd mmap
operation. This allows the VMM to map the memory and use mbind() to set the
desired NUMA policy. The policy is stored in the inode structure via
kvm_gmem_inode_info, as memory policy is a property of the memory (struct
inode) itself. The policy is then retrieved via mpol_shared_policy_lookup()
and passed to filemap_grab_folio_mpol() to ensure that allocations follow
the specified memory policy.

This enables the VMM to control guest memory NUMA placement by calling
mbind() on the mapped memory regions, providing fine-grained control over
guest memory allocation across NUMA nodes.

The policy change only affect future allocations and does not migrate
existing memory. This matches mbind(2)'s default behavior which affects
only new allocations unless overridden with MPOL_MF_MOVE/MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL
flags, which are not supported for guest_memfd as it is unmovable.
