[RFC,v7,6/8] KVM: guest_memfd: Add slab-allocated inode cache

Commit Message

Shivank Garg April 8, 2025, 11:24 a.m. UTC

Add dedicated inode structure (kvm_gmem_inode_info) and slab-allocated
inode cache for guest memory backing, similar to how shmem handles inodes.

This adds the necessary allocation/destruction functions and prepares
for upcoming guest_memfd NUMA policy support changes.
