KVM side leaves the memory to shared by default, while may incur the
overhead of paging conversion on the first visit of each page. Because
the expectation is that page is likely to private for the VMs that
require private memory (has guest memfd).

Explicitly set the memory to private when memory region has valid
guest memfd backend.
