Currently, KVM uses gfn_to_hva_caches to cache gfn->memslot->userspace
host virtual address (uhva) translations. If a gfn is backed by
guest_memfd however, there is no uhva-equivalent item we could possible
cache, since accesses go through a file descriptor instead of a VMA.
Thus, we effectively disable gfn_to_hva_caches in the case where gfns
are gmem-backed, and instead do a gfn->pfn translation on the fly by
calling `kvm_{read,write}_guest` inside `kvm_{read,write}_guest_cached`.
